摘要

The spiral-grooved tube is the core component of the advanced heat exchange system. In this paper, according to the requirements of stainless steel spiral-grooved tube forming, an incremental electromagnetic pulse forming method of coil motion relative to tube blank was proposed. The ultimate forming depth of the groove, the deformation behavior of the aluminum driving layer—stainless steel tube wall, and the effect of process parameters on deformation were studied via experiments and numerical simulation. The size and hardness of the forming parts were measured. Results show that the limit groove depth of the electromagnetic forming stainless steel tube was 2.518 mm; the depth of the spiral groove was 0.016 mm different from that of the die groove, which meets the requirements of dimensional accuracy. The dynamic deformations between the aluminum drive layer and the stainless steel tube wall were well-coordinated, and the maximum radial displacement deviation was 0.013 mm, which indicates that the indirect electromagnetic forming process of the stainless steel spiral-grooved tube with pure aluminum as the drive layer was feasible. The results not only enriched the electromagnetic forming range of abnormal tube parts but also provided a new method for spiral-grooved tube forming.
