Motorbike shock absorbers made with a closed die employ a tube-forming process that is more sensitive than that of a solid billet, because the tube is usually too thin-walled to conserve material. During tube forming, defects such as folding and cracking occur due to unstable tube forming and abnormal material flow. It is therefore essential to understand the relationship between the appearance of defects and the number of forming steps to optimize technological parameters. Based on both finite element method (FEM) simulations and microstructural observations, we demonstrate the important role of the number and methodology of the forming steps on the material flow, defects, and metal fiber anisotropy of motorbike shock absorbers formed from a thin-walled tube. We find limits of the thickness and height ratios of the tube that must be held in order to avoid defects. Our study provides an important guide to workpiece and processing design that can improve the forming quality of products using tube forming.

Drawing and extrusion of single-phase and multilayered tubes through rotating conical dies is investigated within the framework of continuum plasticity. Large strain perfectly plastic J2 flow theory models constitutive behavior along with a radial-helical flow pattern. The governing system for a single-layer process is reduced to three coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. An approximate solution is developed for long and tapered working zones with low wall friction. That solution is used to simulate the field within each layer in composite tube forming. Exact relations are derived for the n-layered tube and it is shown that wall rotation can considerably reduce the required working loads.
