Abstract

The tube hydroforming technology is new key production technologies, which contribute to a light-weight cu. Because the tubes are used for hydroforming instead of the sheet materials formability test for tube is required to measure the formability of materials for hydroforming. In this Paper, a kind of formability test for tube, which can well represent the characteristics of tube hydroforming processes, is developed. Developed formability test method can consider not oかy the influence of material Properties but also contact with die and material. Some investigation was carried out to verify the effectiveness of developed formability test.
