Influence of Some Axially Symmetric Stepped Forms of Discharge Chambers on the Efficiency of Electrohydraulic Forming

详细

A mathematical simulation of the electrohydraulic forming using some types of stepped axisymmetric discharge chambers is performed. The mathematical model is tested on the basis of experimental data obtained using the optical method of measuring the deflection of a plate. It is shown that a change in the shape of the discharge chamber can significantly affect the efficiency of electrohydraulic forming with the same parameters of the discharge circuit. It is found that the conical discharge chamber provides the highest forming efficiency.
