Assessing the influence of fieldshaper material on magnetic pulse welded interface of Al/Cu joints
2019
Abstract Fieldshaper (FS) is a widely used component in magnetic pulse forming and welding to improve the efficiency of the process. It enables to increase the magnetic pressure experienced by the workpieces during forming and welding. Recent developments in this subject focuses to increase the life time of the fieldshaper and to improve the efficiency by introducing shape optimized designs. In this study, we compare the efficiency of four fieldshapers made of Cuprofor, Siclanic, CuBe2 and Steel. The main focus is given to the effect of material properties while the same geometry was considered for those four fieldshapers. The same welding conditions (discharge voltage of 6kV and air gap of…
