Combined with finite element software developed forming limit and effects of process parameters on failures are investigated and proper parameters for stable forming are determined. The results show that: 1) The failures and forming limit are mainly determined by geometry and materials parameters of tube blank, fillet radius or half conical angle of die. For the process under fillet die, there exists a maximum fillet radius within which no tearing failure happens, and a maximum radius and a minimum radius range within which no buckling failure happens. For the process under conical die, there exists a maximum and minimum half conical angle range within which no tearing and buckling failures occur. 2) For both forming processes, the higher the value of material strain hardening exponent or the lower the value of relative thickness, the more impossible for tearing and buckling failures to occur, and the larger the ranges of fillet radius and half conical angle. The experiment results verify the reliability and practicability of this research.展开更多
