According to the profile processing, two forming processes are proposed, i.e., multi-point stamping forming and multi-point stretch forming. Through the finite element simulation, two forming processes are simulated and compared. The analysis results show that the longitudinal springback and transverse forming error of parts by multi-point stretch forming are smaller than those by multi-point stamping forming, so the multi-point stretch forming process is suitable for processing this kind of aluminum alloy profile.

Vacuum hot bulge forming (VHBF) is becoming an increasingly important manufacturing process for titanium alloy cylindrical workpiece in the aerospace industries. Finite element simulation is an essential tool for the specification of process parameters. In this paper, a two-dimensional nonlinear thermo-mechanical couple FE model was established. Numerical simulation of vacuum hot bulge forming of titanium alloy cylindrical workpiece was carried out using FE analysis software MSC.Marc. The effects of process parameter on vacuum hot bulge forming of BT20 titanium alloy cylindrical workpiece was analyzed by numerical simulation. The proposed an optimized vacuum hot bulge forming process parameters and die size. And the corresponding experiments were carried out. The simulated results agreed well with the experimental results.
