A mathematical model considering ellipsoidal surface for the forming tube is proposed in this work to examine the plastic deformation behavior of a thin-walled tube during tube bulge hydroforming process in an open die. In the formulation of this mathematical model, nonuniform thinning in the free bulged region and sticking and sliding friction modes between the tube and die are considered. In the sticking friction mode, the elements in contact with the die do not move or slide after contact with the die. Whereas, in the sliding friction mode, the elements in contact with the die will continue to deform plastically in the subsequent forming process. The relationship between the internal pressure and the bulge height of the tube is examined. The effects of various forming parameters such as the die entry radius, the initial thickness, the length/diameter ratio, material property, etc., upon the forming pressure and the thickness distribution of products were discussed systematically.
