Research on TA1 mesh low-melting-point alloy filling incremental forming process for cranial prosthesis

Abstract The single point incremental forming (SPIF) process is a flexible and progressive manufacturing technique in the monolithic molding domain of heterogeneous metal pressing panels, which can contribute to panels with complex contour applicable fabrication small amount titanium mesh plates for cranial prosthesis. A sandwich construction was proposed this paper purpose inhibiting indentation on product surface deformation extent opening, as well accuracy mesh. method finite element modelling applied analyze influence rules low-melting-point alloy/synergistic mechanism alloy layer quality. At last, horizontal arrangement significance regarding parameters wall thickness rebound ratio effects confirmed.
