Abstract：

To fabricate Al 5083 elbow with high quality, the process of cold push-bending was investigated by FE method. In the numerical simulation, the effects of push velocity and friction coefficient on the forming results were investigated. Subsequently, Al 5083 elbow was fabricated successfully based on the simulation results. The results show that the punch velocity of 4 mm·s-1 and the friction coefficient of 0.06 are optimal forming parameters. Furthermore, the practical forming results agree well with the simulation results. The investigation shows that control of push velocity and friction condition is the effective solution for the fabrication of Al 5083 elbow with high quality.
