The invention relates to a method for forming an aluminum
alloy end wall column member for a new-generation high speed motor
train unit, belonging to the technical field of bending and forming. In the invention, a die profiling method is adopted and mainly comprises the following steps of: a, filling a cavity; b, positioning a section bar; c, profiling; and d, post-treating. The method specifically comprises the following steps: firstly, filling a continuous chaplet in the lower cavity of the section bar; then starting a hydraulic
machine, raising a
line segment of a lower die under the action of an ejector rod, horizontally placing the section bar on the
line segment of the lower and dropping an upper die slowly so that the section bar is sandwiched between the upper die and the lower die; and then profiling: bending and deforming the section bar so that the section bar gradually fits on the section surface of the lower die, stopping the hydraulic
machine, and maintaining a compaction state for a while so that the shape is stable; and finally, taking the section bar out,
cutting off allowances at the two ends of the section bar,
machining other geometrical characteristics, correcting parts, and clearing the surface so as to obtain the complete end wall column member. By the method, the problems existing in the forming process of the end wall column member of the motor
train unit body, such as large section
distortion, longitudinal profile size errors and the like, are solved, and the forming precision is improved.
