Study on Forming Theory of Inner Strong & Outer Weak Strong Bi-metal Pipe

Abstract

As a new type of pipe, bimetallic composite pipe is widely used in various industries in the chemical industry, because its internal and external tubes use different metals, so it can cope with a variety of different working conditions. At present, the application field of composite pipe is mostly inner strong and outer weak strong composite pipe, and this pipe has not been studied accordingly. In this paper, the theory of expansion of inner strong and outer weak strong composite pipe is derived, and a complete set of expansion methods and related parameter calculation formulas are obtained. Abaqus, a finite meta-analysis software, is used to simulate the expansion process and compare it with the theoretical results. The comparative results show that the theoretical formula obtained by derivation has a high degree of credibility, and the results obtained by using this set of theories are close to the results of computer simulation and can be used in industrial production.
