试验性、机械的分析被执行为焊接裁缝的试管(TWT ) 调查厚度分发的特征有不一样的厚度的 hydroforming。然后,焊接缝接位置的效果和厚度差别也被揭示。一个多重直径的试管被形成在 TWT hydroforming 期间揭示特征和厚度分发的整齐。尽管 TWT 有一样的扩大比率,在厚度分发有明显的变化,这被显示尽管 TWT 有一样的扩大比率。更薄的试管的变瘦的比率比特别在地区的更厚的试管的关门到焊接缝接的大。在在二个试管片断之间的变瘦的比率的差别能到达 9% 。因而,厚度的突然、大的变化出现在附近的地区焊接缝接。当厚度差别增加,在在更薄、更厚的试管之间的变瘦的比率的差别扩大,但是作为长度比率增加改善。不同紧张状态是主要原因导致不一致的厚度分发。在厚度的差别是主要原因在更薄、更厚的试管上导致不同紧张状态。
Both experimental and mechanical analyses were carded out to investigate the characteristics of thickness distribution for tailor-welded tube (TWT) hydroforming with dissimilar thickness. Then, the effects of weld-seam position and thickness difference were also revealed. A multiple-diameter tube was formed to reveal the characteristics and the regularity of thickness distribution during TWT hydroforming. It is indicated that there are obvious fluctuations in thickness distribution though the TWTs have the same expansion ratio. The thinning ratio of thinner tube is bigger than that of thicker tube especially in the zone closed to the weld-seam. The difference in thinning ratio between two tube segments can reach 9%. Consequently, sudden and large fluctuation of thickness appears in the zone nearby the weld-seam. The difference in thinning ratio between thinner and thicker tubes enlarges as the thickness difference increases, but improves as length ratio increases. Different strain states are the main reason to induce nonuniform thickness distribution. The difference in thickness is the main reason to induce different strain states on thinner and thicker tubes.
