Abstract: |
Taking 5A06 aluminum alloy thin wall spherical head as the research object, aiming at the bottleneck of the sheet metal processing and the problem of over-slimming in one-step gas bulging forming, the pre-heat drawing-high temperature gas bulging forming process was studied. The finite element method was used for numerical simulation analysis to study the effect of preforming and pressure loading rate on the uniformity of wall thickness distribution. By determining the optimal solution for preforming and final forming and designing preforming and final forming dies, the 5A06 aluminum alloy thin wall spherical heads were trial-manufactured by pre-heat drawing-high temperature gas bulging forming process. The results show that the maximum thinning rate of the spherical head decreases from 48.7% to 24% after the preforming is applied, and too large or too small air pressure loading speed has an adverse effect on the forming. The 5A06 aluminum alloy thin wall spherical head was successfully prepared at temperature of 460~480℃. Argon gas was loaded to 1MPa and maintained for 5 minutes. The surface quality of the head is good and the forming accuracy is high. The gap between the surface and the template is less than 0.2mm. The wall thickness of the head is between 1.16mm and 1.52mm, which meets the requirement of a wall thickness of not less than 1.1mm. |
