Abstract
The purpose of this study is to predict forming limit diagrams (FLDs) for AA6063 and AA6065 aluminum seamless extruded tubes. The Modified Marciniak and Kuczynski (M-K) method is used with Barlat’s 1989 anisotropic yield function and Voce equation. Furthermore, a new calibration method for FLD determination based on the modified M-K method is also applied. The predicted forming limits correlate well with experimental data. It is shown that in comparison to other methods, this method is able to predict necking in tube hydroforming with more accuracy. Therefore, this method can be used to predict bursting in a wide range of practical tube hydroforming of aluminum alloys.
