Finite Element Analysis for the Tube Sinking Process of the Micro Ti-0.2Pd Tube

Abstract:

In this study, the tube sinking process for manufacturing the micro Ti-0.2Pd tube (2.4 mm external diameter, 0.4 mm thickness) was simulated by finite element analysis. The external diameter of the initial tube was 5.0 mm. In order to simulate the tube sinking process, the flow stress equation was deducted from the result of the tensile test and friction coefficient was indirectly obtained through the parameter studies. The simulation results showed the simulation error according to the change of diameter predicted to be less than 2%. The defect of the internal surface by stress was found through the experiment result.
