Comparison of 2D and 3D Pre-bending in a Aluminum Tube Hydroforming Process
알루미늄 튜브 하이드로포밍에 대한 2D와 3D 예비 굽힘 공정의 효과 비교
Abstract
The aluminum tube hydroforming is a manufacturing process which can provide lightweight components as automotive parts. In this paper, the hydroformability of aluminium tube in different condition of bending process is presented. An investigation has been conducted on how to control the deformed shape and its effect on thinning distribution after hydroforming by using finite element simulation. Finite element simulation of tube hydroforming for automotive trailing arm is carried out to explore the effect of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional bending.
