In this study, the bulge forming of fiber reinforced thermoplastic (FRTP) composite braided tubes was studied as a new forming technique utilizing fiber orientation rearrangement (the trellis effect) at temperatures near the matrix melting point. It is shown that free bulge forming with the trellis effect can easily result in high expansion without buckling only by axial compression. This is when the stress of the matrix is small enough to rearrange the fiber orientation of the braid. To improve the surface quality and dimensional accuracy, bulge forming with closed dies and internal pressure was also examined experimentally. The appropriate conditions for axial penetration and internal pressure are established. The kinematics of braid is also considered, and calculations from the model are evaluated from experiments. In addition, the kinematic state of braid after deformation is simulated by calculation from the geometric braid model. It is found that the “normalized profile” of the bulged tube does not change during the process and the thickness of the matrix depends on changing fiber orientation.
