In this study, an artificial neural network was used to predict the minimum force required to single point incremental forming (SPIF) of thin sheets of Aluminium AA3003-O and calamine brass Cu67Zn33 alloy. Accordingly, the parameters for processing, i.e., step depth, the feed rate of the tool, spindle speed, wall angle, thickness of metal sheets and type of material were selected as input and t...

Lightweight materials, such as titanium alloys, magnesium and aluminium are characterised by unusual combinations of high strength, corrosion resistance, low weight. However, some the grades these alloys exhibit poor formability at room temperature, which limits their application in sheet metal-forming processes. materials used extensively automobile aerospace industries, leading to increasing ...
