- Abstract
Thickness thinning is one of the processing defects that tend to occur in traditional stamping or mechanical bending of the plate and tube. In the field of high mechanical performance requirements (such as pressure vessels), the thinning phenomenon cannot be ignored. Thermal stress forming has excellent characteristics of forming without thinning, but the forming angle of this method is small, thus limiting the promotion and application of the process in the field of the form. To solve the problem, thermal stress forming with the baffle pressure method (BPM) is proposed. The coupled thermodynamic model of BPM is established, and the bending angle and deformation mechanism of the BPM are investigated. Lastly, the grain size and microhardness are measured and discussed. Results of the bending angle show that the proposed method can increase the bending angle by 57.71 times compared with the traditional method. The bending angle of BPM is determined by both the thermal buckling and the baffle, and the baffle plays a major role. The results of grain size and microhardness analysis show that the method refines the grain size, increases the material microhardness by 1.31 times and thickens the deformation zone by about 2.75%. In addition, the analytical equation of beam bending with laser as the heat source is given in this paper; this has some significance for further enrichment and development of the basic theory of beam thermoplastic bending.
