Abstract

This study is focused on punch shape design in tube hydro-piercing processes of SPFC590Y carbon steel tubes. The flow stresses of the carbon steel tubes obtained by tensile tests are used in the finite element simulations of tube hydro-piercing process with software “Deform 3D.” The ductile fracture criterion of Normalized Cockcroft and Latham is used during the FE simulations. The critical damage value for NCL fracture criterion is obtained by comparing simulation results and tensile test results. The effects of various parameters such as punch strokes, internal pressures, etc. on tube deformation and fracture mechanism in hydro-piercing processes are investigated. Hydro-piercing experiments are conducted. The characteristics of the experimentally pierced hole sections are compared with the simulation results to validate the analytical models. The effects of various parameters on the characteristics of pierced hole sections after hydro-piercing processes are discussed numerically and experimentally.
