In these forming processes large amount of energy is applied for a very short interval of time. Many metals tend to deform more readily under extra fast application of load which make these processes useful to form large size parts out of most metals including those which are otherwise difficult to form. The parts are formed at a rapid rate, and thus these processes are also called high velocity forming processes.
Explosive forming
A gas bubble is also produced which expands spherically and then collapses. When the pressure pulse impinges against the work piece, the metal is deformed into the die with as high velocity as 120 m/s.
The use of water as the energy transfer medium ensures a uniform transmission of energy and muffles the sound of the explosive blast. The process is versatile a large variety of shapes can be formed, there is virtually no limit to the size of the work piece, and it is suitable for low quantity production as well. The process has been successfully used to form steel plates 25 mm thick x 4 m diameter and to bulge steel tubes as thick as 25 mm.
If the discharge energy is sufficiently high, the hollow work piece is deformed.
The deformation can be controlled by applying external restraints in the form of die or by varying the amount of energy released
Accuracy of parts produced Accuracy of electro hydraulically formed parts depends on the control of both the magnitude and location of energy discharges and on the dimensional accuracy of the dies used
EMF is based on principle that when a current flows in a conductor , a magnetic field is set up around it. If the current and hence magnetic field changes, a current is induced in any other conductor placed in the magnetic field The direction of this induced current is such that induced magnetic field opposes the magnetic field producing it The two conductors get repelled due to interaction of two magnetic fields In EMF , one conductor is coil and workpiece is the second conductor in which eddy currents are set up The repelling forces between the coil and work piece are high and since coil is held rigidly in in place , the work piece is repelled and forced against a die .
HERF charactersitics
In these methods , energy needed for processing materials is released in very short time Normally all these methods are used for the deformation of metals in the form of flat sheet or thin walled tubes . So these methods are basically methods When the metal is in form of solid billets , HIGH VELOCITY FORMING methods are used. In HERF methods , there are no moving parts at all. The energy for metal formation is derived from shock waves In HVF processes , deformation is achieved by using very high velocities ram and die Since kinetic energy is proportional to velocity square, large energy is available
Advantages
Die costs are low, Possibility of forming most metals
Maintenance of tolerances
Easy,, and material does not show springback effect.
