Abstract
In this paper, a hydro-bulging technology for manufacturing pipe elbow s is proposed to overcome difficulties in manufacturing large diameter elbows using traditional technology. The section profile variation of the toroidal shell during the forming process is discussed. It is dem onstrated experimentally that manufacture of a pipe elbow using integr ally hydro-bulging technology is feasible. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science L td. All rights reserved.
