Studies on Flow-Forming of Hybrid Components
摘要
The objective of this paper is to present experimental investigations for the analysis of flow-forming of hybrid components. For this purpose, experiments were first carried out in which a heated hybrid tube made of plastic and aluminum is formed by flow-forming. Initial temperature, roller feed rate and thickness reduction ratio were varied for the investigations. During the process, the temperature and forces were measured. This was followed by measurement of the geometry of the produced components. It has been established, that there is a strong local increase in temperature due to the forming, which is decisive for the process result.
