Abstract

In this article, the commercially pure Al–Cu bimetallic tube has been produced by the parallel tubular channel angular pressing (PTCAP) process. Also, the PTCAP process has been simulated via the finite element ABAQUS software. The influence of some parameters of the process, such as die angle, friction coefficient, displacement of the inner and outer layers, punch speed, and deformation ratio, has been investigated numerically. Then, the effect of ultrasonic vibrations applied in this process has also been studied. The simulation results show that each parameter affects the process, and exert vibrations leading to a decrease in the forming force. The forming force of the experimental process is obtained to compare with the force obtained from the simulated process. The experimental test results showed that the experiment and numerical process have an acceptable correlation with each other.
