Some experimental observations in the shear spinning of long tubes

摘要: Abstract The shear spinning of long tubes is a relatively new metal forming operation, although the shear-spinning process itself has been used over period to produce cones, flanges, tubular products and many other axi-symmetric components. This paper presents results experiments conducted on following materials: (i) commercially pure titanium; (ii) Incoloy 825; (iii) Inconel 600; (iv) stainless steel AISI-304. It concluded that can be commercial basis for producing long, small-bore, thin-wall, high-precision tubing in hard-to-work materials, particularly when volume required prohibits heavy investment.
