An Application of a Magnetic Impulse for the Bending of Metal Sheet Specimens

Currently, classical methods for the creation of various shapes and bending angles of metal sheet parts are applied. They are represented by the so-called all-metal forming tools. Non-standard methods, which in some cases exceed conventional technical solutions, are used in the practice to a minor extent. This is an area of interest from the point of view of ecology, because the shaping process performed in this way does not burden the environment in any considerable way. The knowledge presented in this work is obtained based on experiments in laboratory conditions. The list of literature contains mainly works from the recent period. The research represents a contribution to the great mosaic of magnetism. The aim of the current paper is to also verify the possibilities of the suitability of a special tool in the formation of metal sheet specimens using the application of the so-called forming with a free core. Additional benefits of the experimental work and their results are anticipated. The contribution is complemented by detailed calculations and diagrams. The practical contribution and research is that the device used for forming has been successfully tested. It turns out that the presented method is suitable for further development. The method has proven that is it suitable for industrial applications where simple shapes are produced.
