Electric field auxiliary forming die for ultrahigh-strength multi-channel bent part
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of forming dies, in particular to an electric field auxiliary forming die for an ultrahigh-strength multi-channel bent part.
Background
The bending forming is a process of making a plate material or an annular blank into a required bent shape by using a bending die under the pressure action of a press machine. The method is one of basic stamping processes, and can be used for processing thin-wall parts and annular parts with various complex shapes; the dimensions of the curved parts are also varied and they are widely used in automobiles, airplanes, tractors, motorcycles, clocks, electrical appliances, instruments, light industry, military and civilian products. In the actual bending forming process, the phenomena of inner side instability and wrinkling, severe bending resilience, poor forming performance and the like can occur, and the surface quality, hardness, strength, toughness, service life and other properties of the workpiece can be affected to different degrees as a result. Especially, the ultra-high strength thin plate material is more difficult to bend and the phenomenon of bending rebound is more serious compared with other traditional materials. The ultrahigh-strength material has higher strength but poorer plasticity, so that a series of problems of incapability of bending, serious resilience, poorer precision and the like can be caused by adopting a common stamping die. In a general stamping process, the tensile stress generated by tensile deformation of a neutral layer is reduced or the material stress distribution in a deformation area is changed, so that the tensile stress is reduced, the phenomenon of thinning the outer side wall is reduced by a method of enhancing the compressive stress, and the phenomenon of bending and rebounding can be corrected only by a large amount of experiments and reasonable empirical data. The bending springback phenomenon is always an unavoidable problem of the traditional bending die, and particularly, materials with large elastic modulus are more difficult to bend and form, so that the precision and the quality of products are affected, and the technical problem is formed. In summary, how to solve the quality and precision problems of the ultra-high strength bending piece products has become a problem to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.
