Local Buckling-Induced Forming Method to Produce Metal Bellows

Abstract A novel buckling-induced forming method is proposed to produce metal bellows. The tube billet is firstly treated by local heating and cooling, and the axial loading is applied on both ends of the tube, then the buckling occurs at the designated position and forms a convolution. In this pape...
