Dual Electromagnetic Forming Using Single Uniform Pressure Coil

Abstract:

Electromagnetic Forming (EMF) is a high-speed forming process that can be applied for shaping, joining and cutting of workpieces made of electrically conductive material eg. aluminium. This paper proposes a dual electromagnetic forming method. Energy efficiency of the dual electromagnetic forming is compared with the single sided electromagnetic forming using FEM simulations. In uniform pressure rectangular coil, the top layer of the coil assists in the deformation of the workpiece while the bottom layer hinders the workpiece deformation.To make the bottom layer of the coil also to assist in the deformation of the workpiece, a uniform pressure rectangular coil is designed and placed between the two sheet metal workpiece. The efficiency of the two processes are compared by determing the maximum deformation obtained for each case.
