EXTERNAL MAGNETIC-PULSE STRAIGHTENING OF CARS BODY PANELS

Abstract

The basics of magnetic-pulse attraction of both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic thin-wall sheet metals are investigated. The design models of inductor systems-magnetic-pulse straightening tools are presented. The final analytical expressins for excited efforts design in the tools under consideration are introduced. The practical testing of magnetic-pulse straightening with the tools under study is given.
