Numerical and Experimental Study of the Effect Pressure Path in Tube Hydroforming Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the effect of pressure path on thickness distribution and product geometry in the tube hydroforming process is studied by finite element simulation and experimental approach. In simulations and experiments, low carbon stainless steel (SS316L) seamless tubes were used. The obtained results indicated that with increasing of the initial pressure, the bulge value of the part increases and the wrinkling value decreases. In addition, if the initial pressure is highly decreased, then bursting may occur.
