Assembled hollow camshaft can be manufactured through hydrojoining process which has the advantages including joining multiple elements onto a tube in once loading, high joining strength, efficiency, and precision. The method of improving joining strength by using cams with noncircular hole was presented. Through numerical simulation and experiment, plastic deformation law of hydrojoining process was studied. The displacement of cam and tube, and the profile dimension change of cam during hydrojoining were obtained. The effect of hole shape of cams on joining strength was analyzed. The assembled hollow camshafts with casting iron cams used for a car engine and those with quenched steel cams for a truck engine were successfully manufactured using hydrojoining technology.

Abstract In order to reveal the dredge pump flow instability characteristics, the cavitation and pressure fluctuation in experimental study are carried out, the pressure fluctuation frequency domain and time domain characteristics of three different position inside the volute are analyzed. The results showed that, before cavitation, the main frequency at different positions at different flow rates is 1 times the main frequency of the blade. The fluctuation amplitude near the volute tongue and diffusion section is slightly larger than that at other positions. Before cavitation, the fluctuation amplitude at the same position off design flow is slightly higher than that near the design flow. Cavitation has little influence on the main frequency of the pressure fluctuation. After cavitation, the pressure fluctuation amplitude in the low flow point and the position of the volute tongue under each condition has little change, but cavitation aggravates the pressure fluctuation in the other conditions. Besides, the comparison between simulation and experiment results shows the dredge pump performance curve is in good agreement with the simulation curve, and the simulation results of pressure amplitude at different positions are basically consistent with the experiment results, which verifies the reliability of the numerical simulation method.
