The invention discloses a hydraulic bulging forming method for a
colored metal three-way joint. The method comprises the steps of 1, clearing and removing impurities and oil
dirt attached to the inner surface and the outer surface of a
colored metal pipe blank, and then smearing a lubricating agent on the outer surface of the
colored metal pipe blank; 2, selecting a mold, and arranging the colored metal
pipe blank with the lubricating agent into a mold cavity of the mold; 3, performing hydraulic bulging forming on the colored metal pipe blank arranged in the mold through a three-way hydraulic
machine to obtain a semifinished three-way joint product; 4, performing
thermal treatment on the semifinished three-way joint product; 5, repeatedly performing the step 2 and the step 3 on the semifinished three-way joint product subjected to the
thermal treatment to obtain a formed piece; 6, performing stress removal
thermal treatment on the formed piece; and 7,
cutting off a
branch pipe plug of the formed piece, then performing groove
processing, and finally performing
abrasive blasting to obtain a finished three-way joint product. According to the hydraulic bulging forming method disclosed by the invention, oxidization of the colored metal three-way joint in a manufacturing process is effectively prevented, the problems of
residual stress and
processing hardening in a forming process are alleviated or solved, and the yield of the product is obviously increased.
