The invention relates to an air pressure forming method of an
infrared heating
metal foil plate and a device; wherein, the method includes the steps of accurately heating a
metal foil plate with an
infrared heat source, applying pressure to the softened
metal foil plate with
high pressure gas and realizing the precise forming of the
metal foil plate by matching a micro mold; the device consists of a bottom plate, an upper pressure plate, a micro mold, a
gas pressure nozzle, a three-dimensional mobile platform, a three-dimensional mobile platform controller, an
air compressor, a computer, a drive, an
infrared radiation thermometer, a three-dimensional worktable and an infrared focusing heating device. The method and the device integrates the technologies of infrared heating,
infrared temperature measurement and air pressure forming to a micro-forming process, thus improving the forming performance of the
metal foil plate, ensuring the quality of the surfaces of work pieces; the
high pressure gas is used for replacing a male mold, thus simplifying the technique, causing the loading pressure to be more even and strengthening the filling ability; the method and the device can realize the low cost and
mass production of the
metal foil plate by combining an array female mold.
