Analysis of Numerical Simulation and Engineering Examples of Drawing-Bulging Forming Parts

Abstract:

Drawing-bulging forming is a forming method both deep drawing forming and bulge forming, it has been studied in a centrifuge cover for instance. The forming processes of the centrifuge cover have been analyzed, and the convex hull forming of the forming processes is a typical drawing-bulging forming. The convex hull forming has been analyzed by the theoretical calculations and finite element numerical simulation. The results shows that the convex hull forming should be earlier than the box-shaped forming, in this case, material flow is more conducive to control. In order to avoid the rupture in the forming process of the convex hull, the convex hull forming can be divided into two steps to complete, it can reduce inward deformation resistance of the external metal, and increase the composition of the deep drawing in the drawing-bulging forming, and ease the thinning of the convex hull of the corresponding location. Finally, the reasonable process plan of the workpiece was determined.
