Lava tubes are powerful heat insulators, allowing lava to practically keep the initial temperature and travel longer distances than when freely flowing on the ground surface. It is thus extremely ...

Abstract: Electrohydraulic forming is a kind of high-velocity forming process that can improve the formability of materials compared with quasi-static forming. Due to the lack of adequate material ...

Thornhill Machine Tools Australia has released the Leifeld ST 650 H 9100, a high-precision flow forming unit. The flow forming unit features flow forming tubes over 13m long with both non-varying as ...

The conventional uniaxial tensile test often is used to determine the properties of tube material for hydroforming. However, a biaxial test is more appropriate for hydroforming applications. Material ...

Hot rolled and annealed AISI 1050 steel cylindrical coupons were flow formed at different levels of deformation (66% and 90% wall thickness reduction). TEM studies revealed development of ultra fine ...
