A cold-hot sequential
coupling forming technology of large-scale
aluminium alloy complex structural members is a novel forming technology which is derived from the intersection and fusion of liquid-filled forming technology and hot-
stamping forming technology. The novel forming technology has the characteristics of liquid filling forming and
hot stamping forming at the same time. The cold-hot sequential
coupling forming technology comprises the steps that the upper and lower dies are closed, according to adjusting the blank holder force, a panel
veneer is impacted between the dies; the panel
veneer is attached to die profiles in function of
high pressure liquid in a liquid chamber, the forming of most features is completed; and after forming the liquid-filled, according to the characteristic of the thermoplasticity of materials, the hot-
stamping technology process is carried out by using heated movable insert blocks, the forming of local features is completed, sequential forming of different part features is completed, and final product parts are obtained. The dies are installed in one time, and two
forming processes are realized, and thus the time-consuming of switching the dies is reduced, and the accuracy requirements of global forming and external dimensions of the product parts are guaranteed. At the same time, the movable insert blocks are convenient to install and easy to replace, so the time of repairing dies is reduced and the production efficiency is improved. The sequential forming technology has the unique advantages of in the forming of
aerospace, automotive and other fields of complex structural
alloy members, and has wide application prospect.
