Abstract
In the electromagnetic forming (EMF) titanium bipolar plates (BPPs), a reasonable coil structure can provide higher forming efficiency and repeatability. An arc-shaped uniform pressure coil (UPC) is proposed, and an efficient and reliable multiphysics sequentially coupled analytical model is established. Through the LS-DYNA numerical model and the fitted current curve obtained from experiments, the predictive capabilities of equivalent circuit parameters and dynamic phenomena are verified, and the rationality of the magnetic shielding assumption and magnetic flux uniform distribution are evaluated. Starting from the durability and forming efficiency of the coil, the optimal coil geometry in analytical form is constructed. The study found that there is an optimal solution for the height of the primary coil, wire thickness, primary and secondary side gap, which are 18.3 mm, 2.7 mm, and 3.2 mm, respectively. Based on this, under the discharge capacitor of 100 μF, acceleration distance of 2 mm, and driven by 0.3 mm thick Cu110, a TA1 titanium BPP with a channel depth-to-width ratio of 0.53 was successfully manufactured. Its maximum thinning rate is 18.2%, the maximum fluctuation rate does not exceed 2.5%, and the filling rate of the channel above 95%. Overall, this study provides theoretical basis and reference for the design of UPC in EMF for BPPs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal publishes and disseminates original research in the field of material forming. The research should constitute major achievements in the understanding, modeling or simulation of material forming processes. In this respect ‘forming’ implies a deliberate deformation of material.
The journal establishes a platform of communication between engineers and scientists, covering all forming processes, including sheet forming, bulk forming, powder forming, forming in near-melt conditions (injection moulding, thixoforming, film blowing etc.), micro-forming, hydro-forming, thermo-forming, incremental forming etc. Other manufacturing technologies like machining and cutting can be included if the focus of the work is on plastic deformations.
All materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, glass, wood, fibre reinforced materials, materials in food processing, biomaterials, nano-materials, shape memory alloys etc.) and approaches (micro-macro modelling, thermo-mechanical modelling, numerical simulation including new and advanced numerical strategies, experimental analysis, inverse analysis, model identification, optimization, design and control of forming tools and machines, wear and friction, mechanical behavior and formability of materials etc.) are concerned.
