magneto-forming technology, undertaken at
Loughborough University and using the existing
2 MA/100 kJ Quattro capacitor bank as power supply.
Different practical arrangements will be detailed and
results presented that illustrate magneto-forming in the tap inch geometry:
• Magneto-forming stainless steel cylinders
• Welding stainless steel cylinders with stainless steel
cylinders.
• Magneto-forming magnesium cylinders.
For each arrangement, the results of magneto-forming are
analyzed at the interface as well in the adjoined materials in comparison with their pre-manufacture (as delivered) state. The used characterization techniques include micro and nano-indentation, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
