The hexagonal tubes are annealed for 1h. at 400℃, which have 55mm width with 1mm thickness, and 10mm corner edius. The deformed ation of the hexagonal tube, i.e., bead width, is 10, 15, 20mm, respectively. The magnetic flux density in the gap between the field shaper and the external surface of hexagonal tube is measured, and the result is that the magnetic flux density for a given voltage is almost identical along the gap) and decreases with increasing the gap. The profiles and the strain distribution of the hexagonal tube de- formed are affected by the change Of the charging voltage and the dimensions of a bead width. The greater compressive strum in the cireuwtrential direction is develOPed on plane part near corner,while tensile strain on the corner occurs. A metallic block is inserted inside the hexagonal tube so that uniform profile can be obtained. The simulation of the forming is performed by a finite-element method and compared with the experimental results.展开更多

Tendency of homogeneous radial deformation during electromagnetic compression of aluminium tube was investigated through the design optimization method based on sequential coupling numerical simulation and experiments. The results show that the tendency depends on the length ratio of tube to coil (R), which has a critical value (Rc) corresponding to the relatively homogeneous radial deformation along axial direction. The tube length relative to Rc is insensitive to the discharge voltage. When R is greater than Rc, the deformed tube presents horn shape and the shorter coil makes for local deformation. If R is less than Rc, the deformed tube presents drum shape and the longer coil contributes to larger deformation at tube end. Rc increases with coli length and could approach to 1; inversely, it could approach to 0. These results indicate the design optimization method based on the sequential coupling numerical simulation is feasible, which can be used to realize the controllable and precise deformation of metal tube.展开更多
