Background/Objectives: The experimental investigation and analysis were carried on metal bellows made of 304 stainless steel tubes. Methods/Statistical analysis: FEM analysis using ANSYS was done by varying the manufacturing parameters of bellows, such as internal pressure and die stroke to get an optimum crown diameter of the bellows. Findings: An experimental investigation in the form of an optimization is done by varying the manufacturing parameters of metal bellows. Improvements/Applications: Hardness test, forming height vs thickness distribution and micro structure analysis were done to study the hydroforming process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
