Process Planning for the Lateral Extrusion of a Pipe with a Lost Core

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the authors discuss process planning for the lateral extrusion of a pipe with a lost core. In this process, maximum longitudinal length of the bulged part is restricted by the balance of the extrusion speed of the material and the lost core. In the free bulging condition, longitudinal length is limited to the pipe radius, because the extrusion speed of the core is slower than that of the pipe material when the longitudinal length of the bulged part is longer. The authors designed a two-stage forming process using the transit shape of a truncated cone to solve this problem. The dimensions of the truncated cone were estimated through trial-and-error using a commercial FEM simulator and considering the stretch effect for wrinkles of the pipe by deformation and traveling of the lost core. Finally, the authors conducted experiments to confirm the design’s validity. As a result, a longer longitudinal length of the bulged part than the pipe radius was successfully obtained.
