Abstract: A method for forming a large-diameter special-shaped cross section thin-wall tubular part. A tailor welded barrel blank is adopted as an original blank for forming of the large-diameter special-shaped cross section thin-wall tubular part. After a desired shape is formed, the original weld joint is removed and butt joint tailor welding is performed on the tubular part again. Since the tailor weld joint of the original barrel blank is removed from the final part, there is no need to consider the consistency or coordination of the microstructure of the weld joint and the base metal during the forming process and the subsequent thermal treatment process.

Abstract: Laser additive manufacturing and a method for preparing thin-walled preforms by laser metal deposition and follow-up rolling. This can solve the problems that when the existing laser metal deposition technology prepares the thin-walled preforms, the limit width size of a molten pool at high power affects the forming wall thickness of the preforms so that it is difficult to prepare preforms with wall thickness less than 2 mm, and the problems of poor surface quality and low accuracy of preforms due to convex and concave peaks caused by the interlayer overlapping, but also can solve the problems that a laser beam with a preset trajectory cannot act on the end surfaces of the preforms due to preform deformation caused by residual stress in a printing process so that the preforms cannot be continuously formed.

In the forming method of a deep cavity thin-walled metal component with extremely small fillet radius, a global cavity is formed by deep drawing by means of a rigid die, an extremely small fillet is formed by means of a extrusion/pushing die, so that the deep drawing process is independent of the extremely small fillet forming process, and the problems of wrinkling, cracking and the like in the process of forming the two simultaneously are avoided. Thus, the problem that the extremely small fillet is difficult or impossible to form can be solved.

Abstract: Provided is a performance controlling method for a high-strength aluminum alloy shell during an ultra-low temperature forming process. The present disclosure greatly improves the performance of an aluminum alloy sheet by applying an ultra-low temperature. The present disclosure cools the aluminum alloy sheet to an ultra-low temperature by using an ultra-low temperature cooling medium, so as to compensate for insufficient hardening caused by insufficient deformation and avoid cracking caused by increased deformation. The present disclosure cools the sheet blank zonally according to a deformation law of a desired curved part, and controls the ultra-low temperature distribution of the sheet blank during forming so as to promote the formation of a substructure in a small-deformation zone. In this way, the present disclosure improves a subsequent age-hardening effect, and corresponding uniformity of microstructure and performance, and effectively solves the problem of non-uniformity due to uneven deformation.

Abstract: A method and device for manufacturing a large-sized thin-walled tubular part by gas-liquid internal high pressure forming (IHPF). A gas and a liquid are filled at a certain volume ratio into a thin-walled blank. The pressure of the gas-liquid mixed fluid is mainly determined by the gas pressure. During the deformation of the thin-walled blank, due to a large compression ratio of the gas, the gas-liquid pressure will not basically change with the change of the volume of a blank cavity. A support pressure on the cavity of the thin-walled blank is stable in the entire forming process. In addition, even if there is a slight leakage of the liquid or gas during the forming process, the medium pressure inside the blank will not fluctuate largely. In this way, embodiments lower the requirements for the sealing effect during the tubular part forming process.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a thin-walled metal component by three-dimensional (3D) printing and hot gas bulging. The present invention uses 3D printing to obtain a complex thin-walled preform, which reduces a deformation during subsequent hot gas bulging. The present invention avoids local bulging thinning and cracking, undercuts at the parting during die closing, and wrinkles due to the uneven distribution of cross-sectional materials, etc. The present invention obtains a high accuracy in the form and dimension through hot gas bulging. After a desired shape is obtained by hot gas bulging, a die is closed to keep the component under high temperature and high pressure for a period of time, so that a grain and a phase of the material are transformed to form a desired microstructure.
