Description
Summary:Electromagnetic forming is an advanced manufacturing procedure, characterized by the fact that the tool carrying the deformation force does not touch the workpiece. This paper presents research regarding the electromagnetic forming of Al 99.0 (EN AW-1200) sheet with coils, having different configurations. The purpose of the research was to find the flat spiral coil configuration that ensures maximum deformation of the workpiece. Flat spiral coils with different gaps between the coil and the workpiece, and coils with different number of windings were tested. The influence of these parameters was monitored on the maximum strain of the free bulged parts. The analysis of the results obtained for different configurations of the flat spiral coils allowed the selection of the significant parameters that influenced the electromagnetic forming process of the Al 99.0 flat workpiece, which aimed to elaborate the mathematical model and to optimize the investigated process.
