Phenomena Occurring during the Electro-Dynamic Forming of Non-Ferrous Pipe Elements

Abstract

The paper presents description of physical phenomena arising during the process of electrodynamic forming by means of axisymetric inductors generating pulse magnetic field. Presented material shows the way for determination of pressures acting on non-ferrous pipe elements with an assumption of magnetic flux variation character in system. The paper describes also stages of energy conversion from electric energy of capacitors discharge into mechanical energy of pressure forming semi-finished product. The knowledge about presented phenomena allow to predict final shape of formed product during free forming by electrodynamic method.
