In the conventional electromagnetic tube expansion, axial distribution of the electromagnetic force is not uniform along the workpiece. This results in uneven axial deformation of the deformed tube and restricts the full industrial implementation of this technology. In an attempt to overcome this issue, this article proposes a new method based on dual-coil electromagnetic tube compression. In this regard, an electromagnetic-structure finite element coupling model is developed to emulate the real electromagnetic tube compression process. Influence of the proposed dual-coil structure parameters on the electromagnetic force distribution is analyzed. Results show that the proposed dual-coil electromagnetic tube compression method can effectively solve the problem of uneven axial deformation in the conventional electromagnetic tube compression. The proposed method is expected to promote wide industrial applications of the electromagnetic tube forming technology.
