In November 2011, the Project of Basic Research of Forming by Space-Time-Controlled
Multi-Stage Pulsed Magnetic Field (Stic-Must-PMF) was supported by the National Basic
Research Program of China (973 Project, 2011.11-2016.08). It is aimed at achieving
breakthroughs in manufacturing technology to solve current problems in forming largescale
and complex sheet and tube parts and components, imposed by the limitations of
existing equipment and materials forming properties. The objective of our research group
focuses on the design principles and structural layout optimization of Stic-Must-PMF
facility. And this paper will report the development of Stic-Must-PMF forming and
manufacturing technology at the Wuhan National High Magnetic Field Center (WHMFC)
including numerical modeling, experimental setup and experimental studies
