In recent years, hydroforming process has been applied in different industries such as aerospace, automotive and military industries due to its advantages, such as high dimensional accuracy, capability of forming complicated parts and high drawing ratio. Hydrodynamic deep drawing with radial pressure is one type of hydroforming process. In this paper, forming of cylindrical cups in hydrodynamic...

Metal forming processes, compared with machining ones, reduce production steps and increase manufacturing speed in addition to saving raw material. In this paper, forming process of column of a steering mechanism is investigated by finite element analyses and experimental tests; and optimum die design parameters are found. Forming process parameters including die opening angle, bearing length, ...

Design of deep drawing die is a skilled and experienced based activity. Selection of die components is a vital step in the design process of a deep drawing die. This paper describes a knowledge based system (KBS) developed for the selection of major components of a deep drawing die. The proposed system uses production rule based approach of artificial intelligence (AI) and consists of eight mod...

in this paper, the deep drawing process of tailor welded blanks is simulated using the finite element modelling and verified using the experimental results available in the literature. then the effect of die and material properties on the welding line movement is investigated. it is seen that the most effective material parameters on weld line movement are different between sheet metal thicknes...

Cold drawing process is one of the most used metals forming processes in industries for forming seamless tubes. This process of plastic deformation of metals occurs below the recrystallization temperature and is generally performed at room temperature. When metal is cold worked, upon the release of forming force, the springback occurs. In this paper, the springback effect of the seamless tube t...

A die angle is one of the most important parameters for a drawing process. It should be chosen in that way that a draw stress is low, a wire surface quality is satisfactory and die durability is high [1]. The temperature of a wire in deformation zone depends on amounts of heat generated during a drawing. This heat consists of two components; one is the work piece deformation and another is fric...

CNG vessels are used in many vehicles.  Mass production of CNG pressure vessels requires exact understanding of process effective parameters.  In this paper, the numerical analysis has been used to study the manufacturing parameters.  The entire manufacturing processes, including deep drawing, redrawing and ironing, of an aluminum liner sample of CNG pressure vessel (without spinning) have been...
