Application of electromagnetics in forming of tubes and perforation of sheets

Abstract

Electromagnetic forming EMF is a high strain rate forming process that utilizes high strength electromagnetic pressure to form tubes and sheets in the desired shape High strain rate forming process successfully addresses the problems faced in conventional forming techniques such as springback wrinkling and formability It can be effectively used for forming metals with low formability like aluminium alloys It can be instrumental in the manufacturing of lighter vehicles with higher fuel effi
