Abstract

The analytic formula of the thickness demarcation circle during hydroforming of double-cone tube is derived by using the mechanical analysis and the total strain theory. The effect of friction coefficient, expansion coefficient, ratio of axial stress to internal pressure, length of feeding zone, and initial thickness of tube on the thickness distribution can be given by this formula quantitatively, and the analytic results were compared with the FEM analysis and experimental results. The results show that with the increasing of friction coefficient, the ratio of axial stress to internal pressure, the relative length of feeding zone, the distance between thickness demarcation circle and tube end decreased, that means the increasing of length of the thinning zone, and with the increasing of relative thickness of tube blank, the distance between thickness demarcation circle and tube end increased, that means decreasing of length of the thinning zone.
