Application of Viscous Pressure Forming in Aeronautics and Astronautics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Viscous pressure forming (VPF) is a new developed sheet soft-punch forming process in 1900s. The basic principle and characteristics of VPF are described. The applications of VPF technologies of nickel-based super-alloy corrugated thin-walled part, asymmetrical thin-wall part with variable diameter, super-alloy thin-walled part with variable diameters, corrugated thin-walled part with larger diameter and small section are presented. The results show that VPF is suitable for the forming of parts with high strength, low plasticity, super thin-wall and complex shaped.
