In this paper local compressive deforming of a hexagonal tube of aluminum (JISA1050) is investigated by an electromagnetic forming. The hexagonal tubes are annealed for 1h. at 400℃, which have 55mm width with 1mm thickness, and 10mm corner edius. The deformed ation of the hexagonal tube, i.e., bead width, is 10, 15, 20mm, respectively. The magnetic flux density in the gap between the field shaper and the external surface of hexagonal tube is measured, and the result is that the magnetic flux density for a given voltage is almost identical along the gap) and decreases with increasing the gap. The profiles and the strain distribution of the hexagonal tube de- formed are affected by the change Of the charging voltage and the dimensions of a bead width. The greater compressive strum in the cireuwtrential direction is develOPed on plane part near corner,while tensile strain on the corner occurs. A metallic block is inserted inside the hexagonal tube so that uniform profile can be obtained. The simulation of the forming is performed by a finite-element method and compared with the experimental results.
