Abstract
The tube necking process increases the thickness of the material, and some of the tube necking products require cutting on the inside of the formed product as a post-process. In order to prevent over-cutting or un-cutting due to increased thickness during cutting, it is necessary to know in advance the increase in thickness after forming. Therefore, in this study, the thickness change according to the tube necking was observed. Aluminum 3003-F and 6061-O were used for the materials used in the experiment, and necking was carried out up to 50% of the outer diameter of the tube through five processes. The two materials were formed under the same conditions, and the thickness of three points was observed in each process. In addition, the thickness increase of the two materials was compared, and the trend of thickness increase according to the cumulative necking ratio was observed. As a result of the experiment, both materials had the smallest thickness at the end of the formed product. In addition, as a result of comparing the thickness measurement values of the two materials, the maximum difference was 0.1mm, indicating that there was no difference in thickness between the two materials.
