The application discloses a cold upsetting forming method for an oil cylinder for a
gas spring, and belongs to the technical field of cold upsetting forming of the oil cylinder for the
gas spring.The method comprises the following steps: 1)
raw material preparation and shaping; 2) upsetting; 3) concave pressing; 4) reverse
extrusion stretching; 5) one-time forming of thin-wall reduced-
diameter extension; and 6) two-time forming of thin-wall reduced-
diameter extension.Combining the small overall size, the large length-
diameter ratio and the thin-wall characteristics of the oil cylinder for the
gas spring and the characteristics of
batch production, the method adopts the method of first upsetting and then gradual extension, divides the complex structure part into multiple simple stations, adopts the process of upsetting + composite
extrusion + multi-step reducing-diameter stretching, and introduces the reduced-diameter distribution formula based on the strain hardening index and the
flow stress model, so that the gradual reduction of the inner and outer diameters of the cylinder body and the uniformization control of the wall thickness are realized.On the one hand, the method improves the wall thickness uniformity of the product and avoids the abnormal local wall thickness; on the other hand, due to the adoption of the five-
station progressive one-time forming process, the auxiliary clamping time is greatly shortened, so that the forming efficiency is improved.
