As its name describes, this advanced metalworking process forces the material to “flow” into the desired shape. In addition, flow forming starts with a machined, forged, or deep-drawn tube or cup-shaped “preform” that is much thicker than the thin circular disk found in spin forming operations.
Objectives. By the end of today you should be able to... ...describe different forming processes, when they might be used, and compare their production rates, costs and environmental impacts. ...calculate forming forces, predict part defects (tearing, wrinkling, dimensional inaccuracy), and propose. solutions.
1 lis 2003 · This paper begins by classifying and describing process details of spinning and its allied process, shear forming and flow forming and follows by outlining developments in machine tools. In addition, research carried out in the area of these manufacturing processes is reviewed.
1 mar 2021 · Fluid pressure forming is a metal forming technology in which a fluid medium is used to load and deform a workpiece, enabling a simple piece of blank material to be formed into a complex-shaped integrated component.
30 paź 2018 · Flow forming is a metal forming technology used to produce seamless thin-wall tubes. Flow-formed tubes can fulfill the requirements of high specific strength, tight tolerances and excellent surface finish.
Flow forming is an effective method of manufacturing short series of precision tubular products of hard-to-deform materials, as well as short series of toothed products and profiled disks [2, 3].
Essentially flow forming is deformation process acted by rollers that compresses and stretches a blank (called a preform) over a rotating mandrel, usually through consecutive stages.
