“…Modi and Kumar 5 studied the numerical simulation of AA 5182 aluminum alloy sheet, and the influence of hydroforming process parameters (such as pressure path, blank clamping force, and peak pressure) on the deep drawing formability of the square cup, and verified through experimental data. Moreover, Jia et al 6 examined experimental and numerical the influence of internal pressure, friction coefficient, and loading path on tube forming quality in the hydroforming process. They concluded that the wall thickness near the corner is influenced by different loading paths and the degree of thinning is small in the transition area.…”

This paper presents a study on the formability prediction, thickness variation, the influence of the gradient temperature, and prediction damage and failure behavior of aluminum sheets in a hydroforming vapor process through experimental and numerical investigations. A vapor hydroforming process that takes advantage of the coupling between thermal and mechanical loads applied to sheet metal is introduced. Uniaxial tensile tests and an optimization program developed in Matlab and based on the inverse method were conducted for identifying the coefficients of the Johnson-Cook law at room and at different temperatures. In parallel, a finite element model of the hydroforming vapor process was developed using ABAQUS/Explicit to reproduce the behavior of the aluminum sheet, where the behavior of the coupled thermo viscoelastic material and to the damage prediction of the plate being tested is analyzed using Johnson-Cook model. The results confirm the feasibility of the forming process. The variation of sheet thickness, the thinning mode of the tested sheet, and the effects of the hydroforming temperature are studied. A good agreement was achieved between experimental data and numerical results.

“…By loading paths, it is meant the internal pressure and the forced axial movement of the lower edge of the tube. The paths' choice and timings affect the final product's shape and mechanical characteristics [15][16][17]. If tube hydroforming is performed under proper loading conditions, a successful product result.…”

Hydroforming has gained increasing attention in the manufacturing industry in recent years due to the demand for fast yet reliable production for parts, the applications of which accept a wide range of dimensional tolerances. In this study, tube hydroforming in conical dies has been analyzed. The study consists of two parts: computer simulations and experimental work. The simulation results were utilized to find the load paths which produce successful hydroforming for the selected tube specimens. Twelve load paths were identified and implemented with two friction coefficients and three pressure ranges. During the simulation process, the tubes were given an end movement that ranged from a sealing distance to twice that distance. The experimental work was implemented to verify some of the simulation results. The results showed that the best hydroforming limit was reached when the axial feeding was twice as much as the sealing distance. Also, the maximum amount of deformation rate happens shortly after the specimendie interface starts having relative motion, and it is at its slowest when the hydroforming reaches the fully-formed specimen's shape.

“…Forming quality is directly influenced by the formed corner parameters of rectangular section parts. It is also a difficult matter in rectangular section hydroforming [4]. Sample's roughness of the inner surface of tubes was measured and it was considered whether the sample properties are according to EN 10305-1.…”

In this paper a reserch regarding the surfece of hydroforming tubs, made by aluminium and cooper is presented. Tube hydroforming is very important production method considering that metal tubes are widely used in a great variety of engineering products, such as automobile, aircraft, air conditioner, air compressor, exhaust systems, fluid lines. The results show that the surface of tubes it is influence of the hydroforming process. the material of the tube in research of surface is also very important.
