OPTIMIZATION OF PROCESSES OF ELECTROHYDROIMPULSE FORMING  OF BOX-TYPE COMPONENTS

O.V. Manankov, YA.S. Zhovnovatyuk

Design elements of box-type components influenced on their production manufacturability were determined. Determinative factors of shaping complication of pointed elements were brought. Methods of expansion of equipment technological possibilities and intensification of electrohydraulic forming process were demonstrated. Ways of optimization of tool set and technological processes (used manufacturing techniques) of components production were considered. Fields of effective application of discussed methods were revealed and recommendations of their usage were made.

Key words: drawing rib, rounding-off radii, flange, tooling, manufacturing technique.
