In ultrasonic tube hydroforming, the tube is hydro formed while the ultrasonic vibration is applied to the die. Prior studies provide experimental proof that ultrasonic tube hydroforming reduces corner radius, improves lubrication and uniform thickness. Use of ultrasonic vibration can decrease friction at the tube-die interface. Few attempts have been made to analyze the wire drawing while the ...

Hydroforming process is largely used for the production of tubular parts in various industries, and has advantages such as less weight, higher quality, more strength and fewer production cost compared to the conventional methods of production. The aim of this study is forming a tube-shaped part with a special geometry that has both bulge- and T-zones with tube hydroforming process. The forming ...

determination of the optimum loading path (internal pressure- axial feeding) to restrict the bursting, buckling and wrinkling through tube hydroforming process is necessary to produce an acceptable tube. in this paper, the wrinkling and fracture criteria are implemented to an finite element code devoted to the simulation of tube hydroforming processes. using the ansys parametric design language...

This paper presents a control model of the hydroforming and the dual hydroforming process of a tube. The theoretical part includes calculations to measure the change in tube thickness through the developed process. The hydroforming and the dual hydroforming processes are simulated in the SOLIDSIMULATION software and the static and the dynamic simulations are modeled. The obtained results for th...

The purpose of introducing ultrasonic vibrations in the tube hydroforming process is to create more formability by obtaining a lower corner radius, improve thickness distribution of the wall and provide good tribological conditions at the tube and the die interface. Vibrations imposed on the die create alternating gaps which improve the formability in the tube hydroforming process in the presen...

in recent years, the hydroforming due to reduction in weight and increase in strength of automotive parts has attracted attention of the automotive industry. thus, the knowledge of the process to produce parts with desired quality and accuracy has been growing. one of the effective methods in improving the formability in the hydroforming is known as pulsating hydroforming. however, the reason o...

Dual-pressure tube hydroforming (THF) is a tube-forming process that involves applying fluid pressure to tube’s inner and outer surfaces achieve deformation. This study investigates the effect of dual-pressure loading paths on material formability tribological conditions. Specifically, pear-shaped triangular cross-sectional parts were formed using modes where inside tubular blank was alternated...
