Resumen de On the induction heating contribution in magnetic pulse forming processes for tube forming application

Francois Bay, Jose Alves da Silva Neto

• The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of the induction heating phenomenon during magnetic pulse forming (MPF) of thin walled tube components. The approach is based on the advanced use of the multiphysics finite element software FORGEVR coupling electromagnetism, heat transfer and solid mechanics. Although the global contribution of thermal effects is found to be almost negligible with respect to the volume forces, it can be observed that localized softening due to the heating process induces shock absorbing behavior
