Minimizing the axial force and the material build-up in the tube flow forming process

Optimization of Process Parameters during Flow Forming Process and its Verification

“…It can be seen that the nature of the curve is identical with [6] during first case of benchmarking. Further, the second case of benchmarking is carried out for the axial force encountered on the roller for different leading angles considering two different reduction rates proposed by [7]. It can be seen that good conformity found between both results (average values) as shown in Fig.…”

“…The mechanical properties of AA 6063 are density ρ = 2700 kg/m 3 , yield strength = 48.3 MPa, elastic modulas = 68.9 GPa, poisson's ratio = 0.33, ultimate strength = 89.6 MPa and the model configuration values are given in Table 1. Firstly, the analysis procedure has been benchmarked with the results of [6] and [7]. After successful benchmarking, subsequent analysis has been carried out during present study.…”

“…After successful benchmarking, subsequent analysis has been carried out during present study. The benchmarking is carried out con- [6] (single roller forward strategy) and [7] (single roller backward strategy). Figs.…”

“…Mohebbi et al [6] had numerically investigated the straining pattern during process using ABAQUS. Kim et al [7] had analyzed the different roller angles using upper bound method and simulations. Zoghi et al [8] had done finite element analysis of hot tube necking process for 42CrMo steel.…”

Comparative Study of Forward and Backward Flow Forming Process using Finite Element Analysis

“…The chemical compositions and material properties of AA6063 are given in Table 1 and Table 2 respectively. The operating parameters have been taken based on the reported literature by Kim et al [7]. Table 3 shows the operating conditions.…”
