Abstract

Numerical analysis for Tube Hydroforming (THF) was developed in this work to predict the behavior of extruded aluminum tube in the forming die for beverage can applications. THF is a metal-forming process dependent on three parameters: friction between the tube and the die, internal pressure, and material properties of the tube. For a proper simulation, experimental determination of the mechanical properties of aluminum 6061-T5 was conducted, test specimens were obtained directly from the aluminum tube. Numerical simulation and design of experiments were performed to obtain interactions between factors.
