Abstract

Through a tube expanding processing simulation, a workpiece shape in a state where a tip of a workpiecehas advanced by 1.0 m or more after passing through a shoulder portionof a toolis evaluated. A hollow piece shape and a tool shape such that the external diameter is within ±1% of the target, the thickness is within ±7.5% of the target, and the internal gap between the hollow piece and the tool is 1.0 mm or less are obtained by repeated calculation, and thereby actual tube expanding manufacturing conditions are determined.
