A study on localized expansion defects in tube hydroforming

This study investigated localized expansion in the tube hydroforming process, which may induce cracks in the tube material. First, a model of a trailing arm in the front subframe was built using the finite-element method; it was compared with the actual component to verify the accuracy of the model. Subsequently, a localized expansion model was constructed to analyze the effects of the tube geometry parameters and material-hardening parameters on localized expansion and the fracture location. The simulation results indicated that localized expansion can be ameliorated by changing the material distribution of the tube using a preform or an inner die; these methods substantially reduced the maximum material thinning. However, these methods can only be applied to the local bulging area that occurs when both sides of the tube are constrained. When both sides are not constrained, the material bulges back to the original state, and localized expansion occurs. In this study, both sides of the localized expansion area of the trailing arm in the front subframe were constrained, and the material distribution of the fracture zone could be changed by moving the mandrel to improve the localized expansion-induced fracture characteristics. Experimental results successfully validated the proposed method and analysis.     

基于液压胀形实验及增量理论构建管材本构关系

为了准确构建管材本构关系,提出一种新的依据管材液压胀形实验数据、运用增量理论构建管材本构关系的方法。通过采用三维应变测量分析系统在线实时测量管材胀形实验中胀形区的三维位移场,并通过计算获得三维应变场、壁厚减薄等,避免了对管材胀形轮廓形状的预先假设。为了验证提出方法的可靠性,将运用增量理论、全量理论及单向拉伸实验确定的管材材料参数分别用于管材液压胀形实验的有限元模拟,并将模拟得到的管材的最大胀形高度、胀形轮廓形状与实验结果进行对比。结果显示,基于增量理论法获得各项结果的偏差均最小,在6.7%范围以内,故基于增量理论的方法能更准确地预测管材材料的本构关系。

Determination of stress–strain relationship of tubular material with hydraulic bulge test

Based on the plastic membrane theory and force equilibrium equations, etc., a unique approach is proposed with the curve fitting of experimental data to determine the stress–strain relationship of a thin-walled tube in hydroforming process (THF). A simple and practical hydraulic bulge test tooling was developed and free-bulged tests were performed on stainless steel and low carbon steel tubes to obtain required experimental deformation data. Finite element (FE) simulations of the free bulges were carried out to verify the approach indirectly. The results indicate that the present approach is accurate and acceptable to define the stress–strain behavior of tubular material, and furthermore, an extended flow stress curve with large strain can be obtained by the approach.     

变径管内高压成形的厚度分界圆

为了研究变径管内高压成形过程中工艺参数和管坯几何尺寸对壁厚分布的影响,通过力学分析和全量本构方程,推导出变径管内高压成形厚度分界圆的解析公式.该公式反映了摩擦系数、膨胀系数、管端轴向应力与内压之比、送料区相对长度、管坯相对壁厚、零件过渡锥角等参数与厚度分界圆相对位置之间的定量关系,并与数值模拟规律一致.研究表明:随着摩擦系数、管端轴向应力与内压之比、送料区相对长度的增加,壁厚不变的厚度分界圆距离管端越来越近,即膨胀区壁厚减薄区域是越来越大的;而随着管坯相对壁厚的增加,壁厚不变的厚度分界圆距离管端越来越远,即膨胀区壁厚减薄区域是越来越小的.
