TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metal hollow member shape correction, in particular to a part liquid-filled upsetting forming die. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of aerospace, the demand for high-performance lightweight integral hollow members is increasing. However, the integral hollow member has complex characteristics of thin-walled special-shaped geometry, which leads to great manufacturing difficulty, complex process, and often causes serious machining deformation, making it difficult to ensure manufacturing precision. Therefore, a special shape correction process is usually arranged.
[0003] In engineering, the forming precision of the member is generally improved by process compensation and deformation correction. Process compensation is to apply a compensation amount to the die in the opposite direction of the springback deformation in advance, so that the shape of the workpiece after springback is exactly the same as the designed shape. However, compensation control method is mainly used in the case of fully understanding the material performance and simple workpiece. For new materials such as high-strength plates and aluminum alloy plates, or when the shape of the workpiece changes, the compensation data needs to be re-accumulated. For complex structural parts, the deformation in the forming process is irregular, so it is impossible to correct the forming shape by compensation to meet the requirement of improving the shape precision. Deformation correction refers to a process method that restores the size and shape of the deformed part or blank to the design precision requirement by external load or energy input without removing or adding materials. In actual industrial production, shape correction is an effective method to improve the forming precision of the member.
[0004] According to the working principle and the form of the applied load, the traditional correction method is mainly divided into mechanical correction, heating correction and cold correction.
