Magnetic Pulse Forming

A special coil is placed near the metallic workpiece, replacing the pusher in traditional forming. When the system releases its intense magnetic pulse , the coil generates a magnetic field which in turn accelerates the workpiece to hyper speed and onto the die.

The magnetic pulse (MP) and the extreme deformation speed transforms the metal into a visco-plastic state – increasing formability without affecting the native strength of the material.

• Even material distribution
• Springback reduction
• Higher formability
• Enables complex shapes with very fine details and sharp corners
• Only requires a single one-sided die (one of our systems can replace a heavy five-step press system)
• Cutting and perforating within same process
• Clean process and high-quality surface finish of part
• Can be combined with any other forming technology
• Less chance of tears due to friction as no contact occurs between tool and part
• Process can be applied to low conductive materials
