    Abstract: A method and device for manufacturing a large-sized thin-walled tubular part by gas-liquid internal high pressure forming (IHPF). A gas and a liquid are filled at a certain volume ratio into a thin-walled blank. The pressure of the gas-liquid mixed fluid is mainly determined by the gas pressure. During the deformation of the thin-walled blank, due to a large compression ratio of the gas, the gas-liquid pressure will not basically change with the change of the volume of a blank cavity. A support pressure on the cavity of the thin-walled blank is stable in the entire forming process. In addition, even if there is a slight leakage of the liquid or gas during the forming process, the medium pressure inside the blank will not fluctuate largely. In this way, embodiments lower the requirements for the sealing effect during the tubular part forming process.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses an integrated method for manufacturing a high-temperature resistant thin-walled component by preforming by laying a metal foil strip. The integrated manufacturing method includes: designing a preform, preparing a support die, determining a thickness of a foil strip, determining a width of the foil strip, developing a laying process, laying an A foil strip and a B foil strip, obtaining an AB laminated preform, bulging the preform, performing a reactive synthesis and a densification process of a bulged component, and performing a subsequent treatment of the thin-walled component. The present invention obtains an integral thin-walled preform with a complex structure, a uniform wall thickness and a shape close to the final part by continuously laying a metal foil strip with an appropriate width. The present invention does not need to weld the thin-walled preform, and thus solves the problem of weak comprehensive performance of a weld zone in the conventional method of preparing, rolling and welding a laminated sheet into a cylinder. In addition, the present invention reduces a subsequent bulging deformation, avoiding local bulging, thinning and cracking, undercuts at the parting during die closing, and wrinkles due to uneven distribution of materials in each zone.
