Intensive development of Russian aviation and aerospace industries put an emphasis to the problem of quality of using materials and workpieces and to the value of technical and economical indexes in the context of planned production level [1, 2]. Waste-free technologies are preferred. Cutting by torsion or cutting by shear are preferable technologies if thin-walled tube cutting is the main blanking operation. Build-up of workpiece deformation zone plays an important role in the cutting process. Deformation zone determines stability of details during further processing and exploitation. An extended research was conducted about tube separation process using torsion with an active counterpressure. Some parameters was defined in the result of research, in particular: distribution of deformation zone along length and thickness of workpiece, angular deflection and compression force and workpiece heating temperature impact on build-up of whisker disposition in the cut zone. It allows identifying optimum compression force range and temperature conditions. Compliance with recommended practices allows conducting thin-walled tube separation simultaneously with build-up on the workpieces whisker structure that is fortunate for further pressure treatment and exploitation.

As there was no precise theoretical model for predicting the stress of deformation zone while straightening thin-walled tube, some technological parameters depended mostly on the experience of workers and on the results of trials, therefore by means of the membrane shell theory the equilibrium differential equations of stress is obtained firstly, then we analyze the strain of deformation zone, finally lead to a new theoretical model for predicting the stress in the elastic and plastic zone. Subsequently the simulated experiments have been done, the results show that the theoretical calculations coincide well with the simulated results, the errors are within 1%of the calculations, it is testified that the model is correct and efficient for the thin-walled tube straightening.

Thin walled copper tube is prepared in vacuum melting and argon protecting continuous unidirectional solidification equipment by a short process method. The size of the thin walled copper tube is ф39×1.8 mm. The effect of process parameters on the solidification structure and the surface quality of the thin walled copper tube is investigated. The mechanical properties and electrical properties are tested and analyzed. The results show that the thin walled tube with columnar crystal structure and good quality surface can be obtained continuously and stably under the most appropriate process of the melting temperature is between 1423K and 1453K, the cooling water volume is 0.2~0.5m3•h-1, the cooling distance is 50mm, the drawing speed is not higher 20m•h-1.

A major obstacle in verifying metal cutting temperature models and including thermal variables in empirical studies is the experimental difficulty of measuring physically meaningful cutting temperatures. This is especially true for deformation or shear zone temperatures, which influence the mechanical properties of the work material. This paper describes an inverse method for investigating deformation zone temperatures in end turning tests on thin-walled tubes. The method is based on analytical solutions for the quasi-steady state temperature distributions in a thin-walled ring heated by a rotating temperature source and a thin-walled tube heated by a helically moving source; using these solutions, remote temperature measurements on the tube can be used to back-calculate an effective source temperature which corresponds physically to an average deformation zone temperature. The method has been used in a broad range of experiments on steel, brass, aluminum, and cast iron to verify cutting temperature models. Sample calculations and infrared thermograms from these experiments are used to illustrate the application of the method.

In some cases, the processes of piercing or expanding pipe blanks involve the use of high-frequency active vibrations. However, due to insufficient knowledge, these processes are not widely used in the practice of seamless pipes production. In particular, the problems of increasing the efficiency of the processes of piercing or expanding a pipe blank at a piercing press using high-frequency vibrations are being solved without proper research and, as a rule, by experiments. The elaboration of modern technological processes for the production of seamless pipes using high-frequency vibrations is directly related to the choice of rational modes of metal deformation and the prediction resistance indicators of technological tools and the reliability of equipment operation. The creation of a mathematical model of the process of vibrating piercing (expansion) of an axisymmetric pipe blank at a piercing press of a pipe press facility is an actual task. A calculation scheme for the process of piercing a pipe plank has been elaborated. A dependence was obtained characterizing the speed of front of plastic deformation propagation on the speed of penetration of a vibrated axisymmetric mandrel into the pipe workpiece being pierced. The dynamic characteristics of the occurrence of wave phenomena in the metal being pierced under the influence of a vibrated tool have been determined, which significantly complements the previously known ideas about the stress-strain state of the metal in the deformation zone. The deformation fields in the zones of the disturbed region of the deformation zone were established, taking into account the high-frequency vibrations of the technological tool. It has been established that the choice of rational parameters (amplitude-frequency characteristics) of the vibration piercing process of a pipe blank results in significant increase in the efficiency of the process, the durability of the technological tool and the quality of the pierced blanks.

In the field of cold bending, it is necessary to use ball mandrels, especially to bend thin-walled tubes with a small radius. However, the bending process with a ball mandrel is complex and expensive, and it is easy to jam the core ball inside the tube. To solve these issues, we designed two kinds of hollow non-ball mandrel schemes with low stiffness that were suitable for the small radius bending of thin-walled tubes. We evaluated the forming quality of cold bending numerically and the influence of the hollow section length and thickness on the forming indices. Our results showed that the thickness of the hollow section has a greater influence on forming quality than the length. As the hollow section’s thickness increased, the wrinkling rate first declined by approximately 40% and then increased by above 50%. When the thickness was 11 mm in scheme 1 and 13 mm in scheme 2, the wrinkling rate reached minimum values of 1.32% and 1.50%, respectively. As the hollow section’s thickness increased, the flattening rate decreased by more than 60% and the thinning rate increased by about 40%. A multi-objective optimization of forming indices was carried out by ideal point method and grey wolf optimizer. By comparing the forming results before and after optimization, the feasibility of using the proposed hollow mandrel was proved, and the hollow mandrel scheme of standard cylinder is therefore recommended.

Motorbike shock absorbers made with a closed die employ a tube-forming process that is more sensitive than that of a solid billet, because the tube is usually too thin-walled to conserve material. During tube forming, defects such as folding and cracking occur due to unstable tube forming and abnormal material flow. It is therefore essential to understand the relationship between the appearance of defects and the number of forming steps to optimize technological parameters. Based on both finite element method (FEM) simulations and microstructural observations, we demonstrate the important role of the number and methodology of the forming steps on the material flow, defects, and metal fiber anisotropy of motorbike shock absorbers formed from a thin-walled tube. We find limits of the thickness and height ratios of the tube that must be held in order to avoid defects. Our study provides an important guide to workpiece and processing design that can improve the forming quality of products using tube forming.
