Research on corner filling behavior of V-shaped cross-section tube during hydro-pressing
Based on the mechanical analysis,the internal pressure required for V-shaped cross-section tube in corner forming was studied by finite element simulation and hydro-pressing forming experiments.The hydro-pressing experiments were conducted under different inter-nal pressures to study the changes of wall thickness of formed tubes.The appropriate experimental parameters were selected through theo-retical calculation,and the torsion beam part that meets the requirements was formed.The results show that the smaller the corner radius,the greater the internal pressure required for forming;the internal corner radius of the V-shaped cross-section tube decreases with the in-crease of the internal pressure,while the outer corner radius increases with the increase of the internal pressure;the wall thickness thick-ening of V-shaped cross-section tube mainly occurs in the upper corner zone,and the thinning mainly occurs in the lower corner zone,with the maximum thinning occurring at the center of the lower corner zone.
