Abstract

Quick superplastic forming is a new technology, which combines hot drawing preforming and superplastic forming. It makes full use of the high speed of hot drawing and good formability of superplasticity. For aluminum alloy complex components, the difficulties of stamping and low speed of superplasticity be perfect solved. In this work, the best forming process of side wall outer panel of metro vehicle was determined by forming experiment using quick superplastic forming technology. The high-speed rail edge skin with a very small fillet shape (R≤4 mm) and the large-size subway door frame part (h≈80 mm) formed by straight wall deep drawing were manufactured, using industrial aluminum alloy sheet with thickness of 4 mm. Meanwhile, the formed parts show the advantages of high dimensional accuracy and uniform wall thickness distribution, and the mechanical properties of formed parts can completely meet the requirements as well, which demonstrates the desirable efficiency, low cost and feasibility of this new technology.
