Blow Forming of Steel and IN718 for Propulsion Components

Article Preview

Abstract:

Blow forming technology has been used to produce glass and plastic components with easy and simple process. In order to apply this technology to metallic system, relatively high formability of material and elevated temperature are required. Since the blow forming temperature is quite high for metallic system, the main difficulty is to obtain adequate mold material which can sustain pressure difference between inside and outside of the tool. The present study demonstrates blow forming process with IN718 and steel can be applied to manufacturing of combustion chamber in liquid propellant rocket engine with complex shape. The result shows that the developed technology to process design of high temperature blow forming by the finite element method can be applied for near net shape forming of a combustion chamber of liquid rocket engine and a cone-shaped chamber extension part with cooling channels.
