Exploring Liquid Impact Forming Technology of the Thin-Walled Tubes

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to realize the objective of lightweight manufacturing, the forming methods of thin-walled tubes are studied in this paper. Liquid impact forming, a compound forming technique of thin-walled tube using stamping and hydroforming processes, is presented in order to reduce the forming difficulty and increase the forming efficiency. A simple experimental tooling, including stamping device and tube hydroforming apparatus is developed. Forming experiments of stamping and liquid impact forming processes in rectangular cross-section dies are performed for 304 stainless steel tubes. The results of experiments show that the liquid impact forming technology is feasible, and it will be widely applied in the future.
