The invention discloses a high-pressure forming method a in
pipe. The method comprises the steps that the
pipe is firstly placed in a die cavity of a
pipe element to be formed of a lower mold, a sealing punch is driven by a side push cylinder to enter two ends of the pipe, and the end sealing of the pipe is completed; an upper mold is driven by a slide block of a mold assembling press
machine to descend to a position with a certain height from the lower mold, high-pressure liquid is introduced into the pipe, and in addition, the inner pressure of the pipe is matched with the upper mold
stroke until the mold assembling is completed; the pressure maintaining is carried out or the pressure is properly increased for shaping the pipe. The method has the advantages that the mold assembling force is utilized for promoting straight edge section materials to move towards the round corner position of a forming mold, so the pressure required for forming the round corner position is obviously reduced, the thick-wall and high-intensity steel pipe element forming requirements are met, and meanwhile, the requirements on the maximum
tonnage of the mold assembling press
machine, the pressure bearing capability required by the mold, the reliability of a sealing structure and the pressure of a pressure booster are reduced, so the production cost is reduced, in addition, the uniform wall thickness of the pipe is favorably realized, and the excessive
thinning and
cracking of the
thick wall in the forming process is avoided.
