Effect of mandrel on cross section quality of thin-walled tube numerical controlled bending

The effect of mandrel with the structure of ball and socket on the cross section quality of thin-walled tube numerical controlled （NC） bending was studied by numerical simulation method, combined with theoretical analysis and experiment. Influencing factors of the mandrel include the count of mandrel heads, the diameter of mandrel and its position.

According to the geometrical dimension of tube and dies, the range of mandrel protrusion was derived. The finite element model of thin-walled tube NC bending was established based on the DYNAFORM platform, and key technological problems were solved. The model was verified by experiment. The effect of the number of mandrel heads, the diameter of mandrel and the protrusion length of mandrel on the cross section quality of thin-walled tube NC bending was revealed and how to choose mandrel parameters was presented.

Springback Prediction Model Considering the Variable Young’s Modulus for the Bending Rectangular 3A21 Tube

Springback is inevitable for thin-walled rectangular 3A21 tube in rotary-draw bending process, and Young’s modulus is a crucial material property parameter affecting springback simulation. Therefore, to improve the springback prediction precision, the variation of Young’s modulus with plastic deformation for 3A21 material is studied through a repeated loading-unloading experiment, and a piecewise linear function is given out to describe the relationship between Young’s modulus and plastic strain, which is considered into a new material constitutive model combined with the Von-Mises yield function and the Swift isotropic hardening rule. Furthermore, a finite element springback prediction model is established by means of this new constitutive model for rotary-draw bending process of thin-walled rectangular 3A21 tube, and its reliability is validated experimentally. Comparisons between simulation results and experimental data show that, the accuracy of springback prediction can be improved significantly by 18.02% when the variation of Young’s modulus is considered. On the basis of the established model, the stress distribution field of thin-walled rectangular 3A21 tube in the whole rotary-draw bending process is obtained and analyzed.

Effects of process parameters on numerical control bending process for large diameter thin-walled aluminum alloy tubes

Numerical control(NC) bending experiments with different process parameters were carried out for 5052O aluminum alloy tubes with outer diameter of 70 mm, wall thickness of 1.5 mm, and centerline bending radius of 105 mm. And the effects of process parameters on tube wall thinning and cross section distortion were investigated.

Roles of Surface Booster System on Bending of Thin-Walled Copper Tube

Thin-walled C12200 circular copper tube has been widely used in HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration) industry. Rotary draw bending is a versatile and precise method in forming of thin-walled copper tubes. Wall thinning and sectional fattening are the two main defects that affect tube quality in industrial applications. With traditional die settings, such as adjusting position or type of the mandrel, one factor usually decreases at the expense of increasing the other. An assistant equipment, surface booster system, has been recently developed to relieve both defects at the same time. In the present study, the role of the booster system in the bending process is investigated with finite element simulation. A basic model of copper tube rotary draw bending is established and validated by experiments. Then, cases of different sets of main parameters of the booster system are studied. The relationship between loading force, lower displacement, speed of the booster, and forming characteristics of tube is obtained based on which suggestions about process parameters settings are given. The results provide a better understanding of the role of the booster system in the improvement of forming quality.
