Numerical Investigation on Forming Conditions Impact in Electromagnetic Tube Expansion Performance

Abstract:   (270 Views)
Electromagnetic Tube Expansion (EMTE) is a high-velocity forming process that utilizes transient magnetic fields to plastically deform tubular workpieces without physical contact. The process requires the generation of large currents via a capacitor bank, producing intense magnetic pressures to achieve deformation. While EMTE offers significant advantages in precision and efficiency, a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between key working conditions and deformation mechanisms remains crucial for optimizing its performance. This paper presents a numerical investigation into the effects of critical working conditions on the electromagnetic tube expansion process. Using a coupled finite element model, the transient magnetic field and resultant tube deformation are analyzed under varying conditions. The results provide insights into the relationship between process parameters and deformation outcomes, highlighting the potential for optimizing EMTE systems for enhanced efficiency and uniformity. This study contributes to advancing the theoretical and practical understanding of EMTE, by offering guidance for the design of more effective forming strategies and equipment.
Keywords: Electromagnetic Forming, Finite Element Analysis, Plastic Deformation, Tube Expansion.
