摘要

This study investigates and compares two advanced forming techniques, electromagnetic hydro forming (EMHF) and electrohydraulic forming (EHF), under identical applied voltage conditions using the finite element method. The EMHF demonstrated the ability to produce workpieces with excellent surface quality owing to the absence of the bouncing effect, which is commonly observed in high-speed forming processes. However, the lower forming force of the EMHF limited its effectiveness in shaping localized edges. Conversely, EHF provided strong forming forces ideal for edge forming, but the bouncing effect could not be mitigated. To exploit the strengths of both methods, a hybrid forming process was developed. This hybrid approach employed EMHF for the initial forming step and EHF for the subsequent localized edge forming, successfully achieving the desired final shape without the bouncing effect. Formability was assessed using a dynamic forming limit diagram based on the Marciniak–Kuczynski model, which showed that high-speed forming enhanced the formability compared to quasi-static forming. The hybrid process demonstrated that it is possible to produce high-quality formed products with superior surface and effectively shaped edges, suggesting that the integration of EMHF and EHF can overcome the limitations of each individual process.
