Abstract

The calculation of magnetic pressure is the basis of application of electromagnetic forming (EMF). This paper carries out a numerical simulation of magnetic pressure under the influence of die by means of the finite element method. The analysis model of electromagnetic bulging with die is created by using ANSYS, and the distribution of magnetic pressure acting on the tube and the die is obtained. The differences between EMF and other technologies and the effect of die on tube formability are analyzed. The die has an important influence upon the calculation accuracy. The simulating conclusions with different discharge energy and current frequency are verified through the technologic tests. The distribution of magnetic pressure acting on the tube agrees well with the measurement result of the deformed tube. 45 steel is used as the raw material of the die.
