The invention discloses an
ellipsoid air pressure forming method. The
plasticity of an aluminum
alloy and a welded joint is improved through an
electric current self-resistance heating shell, and compressed gas is used for pressurizing the sealed multi-face shell to form an
ellipsoid under the heating condition. In specific, two polar plates and
ellipsoid side lobe shell plates are assembled and welded to form the closed multi-face shell; electrodes are arranged on the closed multi-faceted shell, energizing and heating to a preset temperature, and introducing a compressed gas into the shell; the closed multi-face shell,
electrification is carried out for heating to the preset temperature, and then the compressed gas is led into the shell; and the closed multi-face shell deforms under the action of internal
gas pressure, leading of the gas is stopped until the shell with the desired curvature is obtained, the gas is discharged, the electrodes are removed, and the formed ellipsoid is obtained. According to the ellipsoid air pressure forming method, an
electric current self-resistance heating manner is adopted, a large-sized
heating furnace is prevented from being used, and the manufacturing cost and the
technical risk of the large-
diameter ellipsoid are greatly reduced; and an aluminum
alloy base material and the welded joint are subjected to air pressure bulging under the heating state, the forming property is remarkably improved, and the problem of
cracking of a welded zone during normal temperature forming of the large-
diameter aluminum
alloy ellipsoid is solved.
