Abstract In this work it is assessed the potential of combining conventional and incremental sheet forming processes in a same metal. This so-called hybrid approach performed through manufacture pre-forming by forming, followed forming. The main objective analyzing strain evolution. induced stage will determine paths, directly influencing strains produced process. To conduct study, processes, w...

Abstract. This paper provides an analysis of the Rigid Body Motion (RBM) in multi-stage Single Point Incremental Forming a cylindrical cup. The RBM is studied using Digital Image Correlation to track material each contour tool, resulting better understanding phenomenon than has been shown literature. study shows that highest Z-translations midpoint cone take place last contours stage, where the...

Abstract Micro-forming of thin foils is challenging due to the size effect, friction and tool design. The conventional macro-forming techniques cannot be directly applied foils. incremental forming process (ISF) can used for since it possesses higher formability compared process. Hence, µ-ISF (micro process) experiments were conducted on SS304 stainless steel having 50, 100, 200 µm thickness. A...

Effect of temperature on formability of AA6063 aluminum tubes in incremental forming process was investigated. Experiments are performed on AA6063 aluminum tubes. A spirally moving tool incrementally expands the tube wall. The tube is clamped from both ends while the deformation zone is not in contact with the die. A circumferential heating system is used to heat the tube due to the low formabi...
