Rotary-draw-bending using tools with reduced geometries
Abstract The tool sets of rotary-draw-bending are designed according to the geometries of the semi-finished product and the desired bending geometries. For more flexibility, the geometries of the tools must be simplified. Based on the distributions of contact normal stresses determined in finite element simulations, a method to simplify the tools ...

Bending behaviors of large diameter thin-walled CP-Ti tube in rotary draw bending
AbstractThe rotary draw bending(RDB) of large diameter thin-walled (LDTW) tube needs the strict cooperation of multiple processing parameters to avoid possible multiple defects. Due to the specific properties, the bending behaviors of LDTW commercial pure titanium (CP-Ti) tube are much more complex to achieve precise deformation. With the CP-Ti tube of

In situ detection and control of wrinkle formation during rotary draw bending
Abstract Rotary draw bending (RDB) is a profile bending process which is preferably used for small wall thicknesses and small bending radii. The limits of the process are cracking on the outside of the arch and wrinkle formation on the inside of the arch. Cracking is predicted by comparing the calculated strains with a forming limit curve.

The way forward in rotary draw bending: a review
Presently, Rotary Draw Bending (RDB) process is one of the most common tube bending techniques used in industrial production around the world. The process is executed on a specially designed machine being fitted with specific forming tools. The quality of final products in RDB largely depends on process parameters being selected by the machine operator.

Improving Rotary Draw Bending Process by Changing a Geometry of the Pressure Bar [PDF]
The paper is focused on an analysis and optimization of the rotary draw bending process to eliminate bent tube ovality by modification of the pressure die geometry. The bending process is realized on Wafios CNC bending machine. A tube that is bent for an automotive application is made of 34MnB5 steel.
