Joining of Tubular Parts by Electromagnetic Forming: Computational Investigations of Strength

Article Preview

Abstract:

A frequent application of electromagnetic forming in the industry is joining by electromagnetic compression of tubular parts. The goodness of the joints is determined by the strength of the joint, and it is considered excellent if it reaches the strength of the weaker material pair. Strength of these joint are generally tested for tensile and torsion loadings. In order to increase strength, one or more horizontal and/or radial grooves can be fabricated onto the male joining pair to utilize form fitting besides interference fit. In the present paper, the strength of the joint is studied by finite element simulations.
