Coil Size

The main hull of a ship is made up of a large number of plates with complex curvatures. Line heating is one of the main approaches used in the forming of a ship hull plate. Because line heating is based on manual heating using a handheld oxyacetylene gun, the typical heating width is extremely narrow. With the development of computer control technology, a newly developed automated plate forming equipment is available and its heat source is typically an electromagnetic induction coil. The temperature field and the induction coil size are correlated. However, investigations into the induction coil size are scarce. In this study, the effect that the induction coil width has on both the forming shape and processing efficiency is investigated via simulation and test. The results show that a moderate expansion of the induction coil width at different input powers has an insignificant impact on forming shapes that is attainable by common line heating. However, as the heating width expands with the expansion of the induction coil width, the number of the processing lines via line heating is reduced which improves the processing efficiency.

Ship-hull plate forming by line heating requires hard and skillful labor. Initially, the plate is curved in one direction by rolling. Then, the curved plate is transported to the line-heating workshop to obtain the required shrinkage. However, this two-step forming leads to a series of problems. This paper presents a method to change the two-step forming into line-heating forming by using curvature analysis. The principal curvatures of the formed plate can be calculated directly from the offset data. The principal curvature distribution provides information on the deformation distribution and the heating lines. Heating along a line will result in a uniform bending angular deformation. A numerical method to determine the heating lines to produce the required bending angle is presented. This kind of heating line does not require adjustment of parameters in line heating. It would benefit temperature control and facilitate plate forming automatically.

Transverse Shrinkage

This paper mainly investigated the effects of different inductor patterns on thermal forming behavior of ship hull plate by moving induction heating. Alternately-coupled electromagnetic-thermal analysis procedure considering temperature-dependent material properties was firstly implemented at each moving step of inductor, followed with uncoupled thermal-mechanical transient analysis to obtain corresponding thermal deformation. Then temperature distribution, dimensions (breadth b and depth h) of heat-affected zone, and deformation obtained from codirectional current-carrying inductor with no gap and opposite-direction current-carrying inductor with gap were compared, respectively. And effects of heating directions and distance T2 of ODIG were also analyzed. It turns out that codirectional current-carrying inductor with no gap can generate much larger transverse shrinkage at 1.8–2.5 mm/s than opposite-direction current-carrying inductor with gap, otherwise smaller at 3.2–4.0 mm/s, likewise larger temperature gradient at 1.8–4.0 mm/s and thus larger bending angular deformation. Besides, heating direction “Out” can generate larger deformation than “In” and deformation for opposite-direction current-carrying inductor with gap can be effectively improved through adjusting distance T2 until 13 mm. These indicate that adopting appropriate inductor patterns, heating direction and distance T2 of opposite-direction current-carrying inductor with gap can significantly improve thermal forming behavior.
