摘要: A sheet metal trough of aluminum alloys is manufactured by gas-forming process at 500 °C. The product with slope walls is of ~1.2 m long and ~260 mm opening width, comprising two conical sinks at two ends. The depth of one sink apex is ~350 mm, which results in the depth/width ratio reaching 1.4. To form such a complex shape with high aspect ratio, a pre-form of V-shape groove is prepared prior to the gas-forming work. When this double concave trough is turned upside down, the convex contour resembles the back of a twin hump camel. The formability of this configuration depends on the gas pressurization rate profile, the working temperature, material’s micro-structure, as well as pre-form design. The latter point is demonstrated by comparing two aluminum alloys, AA5182 and SP5083, with nearly same compositions but very different grain sizes. 其他題名: J. of Materi Eng and Perform 出版者: Boston: Springer US 出版日期: 2012-11 出處: Journal of materials engineering and performance, 2012-11, Vol.21 (11), p.2290-2294 資源來源: EBSCOhost OmniFile Full Text Select 版權: ASM International 2012 識別號: ISSN: 1059-9495 識別號: EISSN: 1544-1024 識別號: DOI: 10.1007/s11665-012-0179-2 識別號: CODEN: JMEPEG
