Experimental and Numerical Investigation on the Square Hole Hydro-Piercing Process
The hydro-piercing process is an emerging approach to the direct punching of holes on complex hollow components. During tube hydro-piercing, the deformation in the region adjacent to the pierced hole may range from having a substantially flat form to having a countersunk form. To improve the underst...

| description | The hydro-piercing process is an emerging approach to the direct punching of holes on complex hollow components. During tube hydro-piercing, the deformation in the region adjacent to the pierced hole may range from having a substantially flat form to having a countersunk form. To improve the understanding of deformation behavior in square hole hydro-piercing, an experimental setup was designed and the effects of internal pressure and punch corner radius on the deformation sequence, as well as the collapse behavior, were investigated in this study. At the same time, a numerical simulation was conducted using the Abaqus/Explicit software 6.13. The results showed that the degrees of collapse at three characteristic points were different when the internal pressure was low and that the differences in the degrees of collapse could be reduced by increasing the internal pressure. It was demonstrated that the collapse was related to the internal pressure but had little dependence on the punch corner radius. |
