Abstract:This paper proposed a new ball spin forming equipment, which can form a reduced diameter section on the halfway point of a tube. The effects of forming process parameters on the surface integrity and deformation characteristics of the product were investigated. The proposed method can reduce the diameter in the middle portion of the tube, and the maximum diameter reduction ratio was over 10% in one pass. When the feed pitch of the ball die was more than 2.0 mm/rev, spiral marks remained on the surface of tube.… Show more
“…The forming technology of metal composite pipe mainly includes hydroforming, drawing forming, explosion forming and spin forming [7][8][9][10]. Many scholars and https://doi.org/10.1007/s42452-021-04932-7…”
Bimetal composite pipe are widely used in petrochemical industry and other industries due to its good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. In this paper, the minimum radial rotary pressure (Pimin) and maximum radial rotary pressure (Pimax) were obtained by theoretical mechanical calculation, so as to optimize the design of the spinning device. The residual contact pressure was acquired to evaluate the forming quality of the composite pipe. It was found that when the spinning parameters (δ = 0.16 mm, ψ = 0.4 mm, β = 3.0° and f = 0.5), the maximum residual contact pressure was obtained, and the simulated and experimental values were 9.19 MPa and 9.01 MPa, respectively. They were close to the theoretical value (9.67 MPa), and the error of these values was about 9%, which proved the accuracy of the theoretical analysis.

“…The first group is tube hydroforming (THF) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], in which a hydraulic media and dies are used to deform a tube workpiece. The second group is tube forming [10][11][12][13][14], in which only dies are used to deform a tube workpiece. The third group is sheet hydroforming [15,16], in which dies and/or hydraulic media are used to deform a sheet workpiece.…”
