The Study on the Formability of Tube using Elasto-Forming Process

고탄성체 성형공정을 이용한 튜브의 성형성 연구

Recently a number of parts have a tendency to be a module for saving weight, cost, process and high quality in automotive industry. The forming process to combine automotive rack tube which was consisted on many parts is various. This paper presents tube forming process using elasto-forming process. We investigated the properties of rubber and tube by Finite Element Analysis. And it was compared with the experimental results for the formability of tube. we was to suggest a forming process using moving die for elasto-forming process, and through this improvement we could get the good formability.
