Amidst the sustainable evolution of the economy and society, the issues of energy scarcity and environmental degradation have gained increasing prominence, making energy conservation and emission reduction the focal point of societal concern. Within this context, metal tubes fittings, as essential components, wield significant and extensive influence in domains such as aviation, aerospace, and new energy vehicles. Notably, the burgeoning prominence of advanced plastic forming methods, epitomized by the flexible medium forming process of tubes, has garnered escalating attention.
Spinning process, a near-net forming process for blanks, embodies numerous distinctive advantages. Notably, it entails lower forming load, heightened forming accuracy, necessitates only rudimentary tooling, and yields commendable surface finish. Hence, spinning finds wide-ranging application in the fabrication of hollow rotary components. As science and technology advance, an expanding array of materials such as magnesium alloy, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, superalloy, and composite materials find application in tube spinning. In tandem, in order to meet the technical requirements of the tube, a variety of forming methods based on the spinning process have been developed.
The team published their work ‘Tube spinning process: Recent advances and challenges’ (JAMST, 2024, 4(4): 2024014. DOI: 10.51393/j.jamst.2024014) in Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Science and Technology.
“This review focus on the utilization of spinning process in tube blank formation. It encompasses an investigation into the application of diverse materials and spinning methods in spinning process, along with a summary of the properties of tube blanks post the spinning process. And the challenges of the tube spinning process in the future are expected to revolve around the research and production of tube components with enhanced accuracy and performance.” said Xuedao Shu, professor at Faculty of Mechanical Engineering & Mechanics at Ningbo University (China), a senior expert whose research interests focus on the field of metal forming.
Evidently, as spinning process continues to iterate and advance, an increasing number of tube parts are being formed by spinning process, encompassing both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Concurrently, composite tube components, engineered for more intricate and hazardous environments, are also being fabricated through spinning technology. Moreover, a burgeoning array of spinning methods, including stagger spinning, multi-pass spinning, ball spinning, and internal spinning, are being incorporated in the formation of tube parts. Presently, a burgeoning re-search trend involves composite spinning, seamlessly amalgamating other forming methods. In the formation process of composite tubes, owing to the paramount influence of bonding strength on composite tubes, the relationship between spinning parameters and interface element diffusion and bonding strength has been widely studied. Finally, the evolution law and interface bonding mechanism of the composite tube interface of different materials were established.
“The spinning process is extended to bimetal and multimetal tubes, with special emphasis on materials that have not yet been explored. It is an important research field of tube spinning process in the future to clarify its spinning forming mechanism and interface bonding mechanism.” said Zixuan Li.

In recent years, additive manufacturing technology has attracted considerable attention from various stakeholders. Among the different techniques, Arc wire-based direct energy deposition (DED) has experienced a notable increase in development, offering compelling advantages such as cost-effectiveness and high forming efficiency. However, a high deposition rate results in extremely high heat input and temperature inhomogeneity, leading to a deterioration in surface quality, a reduction in material properties, an increase in residual stresses and even distortion and cracking. Consequently, the current research agenda is focused on developing methods to ensure the quality ...

Over four hundred people, 80% of them being children under 14 years old, will be diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (B-ALL) next year in Spain, according to the latest projections from the Spanish network of cancer registries (REDECAN). Survival rates for this rapid-growing and aggressive type of blood cancer are high in youth, but fall rapidly with age, especially after 40, stressing the need for new therapeutic alternatives.
B-ALL arises when B-lymphocytes - the antibody producing cells of the immune system - fail to properly mature in the bone marrow, leading to the accumulation of immature progenitors ...
