Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for ultra-low temperature forming an ultra-thin curved part of a high-strength aluminum alloy. The method includes the following steps: step 1: selecting a cladding with a suitable thickness according to a wrinkle limit of a sheet; step 2: stacking the sheet and the cladding, then putting into a die, and closing a blank holder; step 3: filling a cavity of a female die with an ultra-low temperature medium to cool the sheet to below −160° C.; step 4: applying a set blank holding force by the blank holder, and enabling a male die to go down to form a thin-walled curved part; and step 5: opening the die and taking out the formed thin-walled curved part. The present invention utilizes the favorable formability of the high-strength aluminum alloy at the ultra-low temperature and the instability resistance of the thick sheet.
