Abstract

This work presents a new analytical method to estimate COF in THF using tube-upsetting method. Mathematical model presented in Rudraksha and Gawande (J Bio- and Tribo-Corros 3(4): 1–13, 2017. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40735-017-9) is used to estimate COF in tube hydroforming. From investigations, it is observed that COF can be determined using geometrical parameters of the given tube, optimized pressure, and thickness of tube. In this paper, influence of friction on different process parameters such as material properties, geometrical parameters and variation in thickness of tube has been analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The proposed method is verified by analytical and experimental approach.
