| Abstract Scope |
Technologies for forming and fabricating tubes have been contributing to the development of society, and should evolve and have great roles in the future societies, considering the environmental problems. Global warming is a critical problem and the average temperature in the world is still increasing. Tubes have advantages of high rigidity for a unit weight and could manufacture light-weight components for transport equipment. The technologies on tubes should contribute for solving these problems and realizing sustainable societies.
This paper introduces the author's technologies and reviews others' recent technologies on tubes. The technologies include hydro and air forming, rotary forming, bending, micro forming and so on. These technologies are qualitatively evaluated in terms of conflicting characteristics, such as formability, strength, productivity, flexibility and miniaturization. Some technologies are emerging to improve some of the conflicting characteristics at the same time for realizing excellent performances of the formed products. |
