Numerical Modeling as the Method to Determine the Parameters of Tube Bending with Local Induction Heating

Abstract:

The numerical analysis results of bending with local induction heating of 10CrMo9-10 steel tubes have been presented in the paper. The goal of conducted simulations was to determine the process parameters that allow to obtain tube bends with geometric features which meet requirements of relevant standards. The risks of wrinkling, excessive tube bend ovalization and cracking (according to Cockroft-Latham criterion) have been analysed. The obtained results prove that numerical modeling can be used to minimize the costs of tube bending technology implementation without the need of further process parameters corrections.
