During tube hydroforming process, the friction conditions between and die have a great importance on material plastic flow distribution of residual stresses final component. Indeed, three-dimensional finite element model process in case square section has been performed, using dynamic static approaches, to study effect both induced by process. First, comparative numerical experimental results c...

This paper gives an overview of a deep drawing process by pressurized liquid medium separated from the sheet by a rubber diaphragm. Hydroforming deep drawing processing of sheet metal parts provides a number of advantages over conventional techniques. It generally increases the depth to diameter ratio possible in cup drawing and minimizes the thickness variation of the drawn cup. To explore the...

In this paper, the mechanism of improvement of formability in pulsating hydroforming of T-shape tubes is investigated by the finite element simulation and experiment. It is shown that local thinning was prevented by oscillating the internal pressure, because the protrusion is formed gradually by the prevention of sharp bulging. In the hydroforming, for the pulsating pressure, several steps occu...

High-pressure tube hydroforming is a promising method to deform the tubes in various shapes by bulging applying high internal pressure. However, challenges lie process itself, i.e., requires an expensive pump system and brings excessive thinning deformed part section. One option reduce required pressure solve these difficulties, other provide axial feed deformation zone thinning. due higher loa...

The main objective of the present paper is to provide a simple analytical solution for describing expansion two-layer tube under plane-strain conditions its subsequent use in preliminary design hydroforming processes. Each layer’s constitutive equations are an arbitrary pressure-independent yield criterion, associated plastic flow rule, and hardening law. elastic portion strain neglected. metho...

Hydroforming process is largely used for the production of tubular parts in various industries, and has advantages such as less weight, higher quality, more strength and fewer production cost compared to the conventional methods of production. The aim of this study is forming a tube-shaped part with a special geometry that has both bulge- and T-zones with tube hydroforming process. The forming ...

The different branch diameters of five-way tube affect the design loading internal pressure in hydroforming process, where large-diameter is broken more easily than small-diameter one due to same ultimate stress material one-step forming method. Therefore, first four-way and then multi-step (FFTF) method three-way (FTTF) were proposed fabricate 5A02 aluminum alloy with two kinds avoid burst tub...

The investigation into the circumferential mechanical properties of tubular materials has been receiving increasing attention, since tube hydroforming process used in forming field, because have a significant effect on hydroformability materials. In present study, method for evaluation with flaring test was proposed. expressions yield stress, strain hardening coefficient and exponent values wer...
