Abstract
Tube spinning technology represents a process with high forming precision and good flexibility and is increasingly being used in the manufacture of bimetal composite tubular structures. In the present study, a forming analysis of clad tube and base tube in spinning process was conducted through numerical simulations and experiments. There was an equivalent stress transition on the interface since the stress transmission was retarded from clad tube to base tube. The yield strength became a main consideration during a design bimetal composite tube. Meanwhile, the strain distributions in axial direction, tangential direction, and radial direction were also investigated to determine the deformation characteristics of each component. As the press amount increased, the strain of clad tube changed more than base tube. As the feed rate increased, the strain decreased in axial direction and tangential direction but almost unchanged in radial direction. Simultaneously, a method for controlling the wall thickness of the clad tube and the base tube is proposed. These results to guide the design of bimetal tube composite spinning process have the certain meanings.
