Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of material processing, and in particular relates to an electromagnetic forming device and method for providing continuous electromagnetic force. Background technique [0002] The traditional "electromagnetic forming" technology, also called "electromagnetic pulse forming" technology, is a method of high-speed machining of metal workpieces using pulsed electromagnetic force. In the traditional electromagnetic pulse shaping process, capacitors, coils, and discharge circuits constitute an RLC circuit. Energy is stored in the capacitor, and when the discharge switch is closed momentarily, a decaying alternating current will flow through the coil. This alternating current will get an induced current on the surface of the metal workpiece opposite to the direction of the coil current, thereby generating a pulsed electromagnetic force on the workpiece, see figure 1 (For details, see the literature "some measurements of the...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This pulse electromagnetic force has the following two problems: (1) The pulse electromagnetic force mainly acts on the deformation of the material in the first half wave, and the other half waves can be ignored due to the large attenuation of the electromagnetic force, so the magnetic field force acts for a short time and the forming efficiency is low ; (2) The pulse current increases from the initial value of 0, causing the electromagnetic force to increase slowly

However, multiple discharges and multiple sets of coil structures required to improve precision will weaken the forming efficiency

And for high-hardness materials, the high-speed collision between the material and the mold driven by magnetic field force still cannot solve the problem of rebound after high-speed collision, which will eventually affect the forming accuracy
