Ball Spin Forming for Flexible and Partial Diameter Reduction in Tubes

This paper proposed a new ball spin forming equipment, which can form a reduced diameter section on the halfway point of a tube. The effects of forming process parameters on the surface integrity and deformation characteristics of the product were investigated. The proposed method can reduce the dia...
