The single point incremental forming process (SPIF) are suited for sheet metal prototyping, because it is a low cost production process that produces sheet metal part without any used of die, and easy to adjust the part’s geometry by change toolpath. But the quality of forming parts is still in doubt. In some applications, such as mould cavity for rapid mould and the medical parts, in this case the inside surface roughness plays an importance role. In this paper, the SPIF process parameters that affected to the inner surface roughness were experimental studied. The investigated parameters are composing of tool feed rate, side overlap, depth step and tool radius. The 2k-p factorial experimental design was used to analyze the interaction between each parameter. The results showed that increasing feed rate and depth step decreased inner surface roughness. Reducing tool rotational speed and feed rate reduced inner surface roughness. So increasing depth step with decreasing side overlap reduced inner surface roughness. The large tool radius and lower side overlap improved inner surface roughness. The large tool radius and higher depth step improved inner surface roughness. And last, reducing tool rotational speed with larger tool radius, the inner surface roughness is decreased.

This paper focuses on studying how mineral oil, sunflower, soybean, and corn lubricants influence friction and wear effects during the manufacturing of aluminum parts via the single point incremental forming (SPIF) process. To identify how friction, surface roughness, and wear change during the SPIF of aluminum parts, Stribeck curves were plotted as a function of the SPIF process parameters such as vertical step size, wall angle, and tool tip semi-spherical diameter. Furthermore, lubricant effects on the surface of the formed parts are examined by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, the Alicona optical 3D measurement system, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Results show that during the SPIF process of the metallic specimens, soybean and corn oils attained the highest friction, along forces, roughness, and wear values. Based on the surface roughness measurements, it can be observed that soybean oil produces the worst surface roughness finish in the direction perpendicular to the tool passes (Ra =1.45 μm) considering a vertical step size of 0.25 mm with a 5 mm tool tip diameter. These findings are confirmed through plotting SPIFed Stribeck curves for the soybean and corn oils that show small hydrodynamic span regime changes for an increasing sample step-size forming process. This article elucidates the effects caused by mineral and vegetable oils on the surface of aluminum parts produced as a function of Single Point Incremental Sheet Forming process parameters.

Deformation Mechanics

Despite years of supporting research, commercial use of the Single Point Incremental Forming process remains very limited. The promised flexibility and lack of specific tooling is contradicted by its highly complex deformation mechanics, resulting in a process that is easy to implement but where workpiece accuracy is very difficult to control. This paper looks at geometry compensation as a viable control strategy to increase the accuracy of produced workpieces. The input geometry of the process can be compensated using knowledge about the deformations occurring during production. The deviations between the nominal CAD geometry and the actual produced geometry can be calculated in a variety of different ways, thus directly influencing the compensation. Two different alignment methods and three deviation calculation methods are explained in detail. Six combined deviation calculation methods are used to generate compensated inputs, which are experimentally produced and compared to the uncompensated part. All different methods are able to noticeably improve the accuracy, with the production alignment and closest point deviation calculation achieving the best results

Incremental sheet forming is one of the latest processes in sheet metal forming industry which has drawn attention of various researchers. It has shown improved formability compared to stamping process. Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) process requires only hemispherical tool and no die is required hence, it is a die-less forming process. In this paper experimental investigation on SPIF for Aluminium sheet has been presented. A groove test on Vertical Machining Centre has been performed. Factors (Step depth, Blank holder clamping area, Backing plate radius, Program strategy, Feed rate and Tool diameter) affecting the process are identified and experiments are carried out using fractional factorial design of experiments. Effect of the factors on fractured depth, forming time and surface finish have been analyzed using Minitab 17 software.

<p>The aim of the current work was to analyse the influence of the process parameters (tool diameter, size of the vertical step of tool, feed rate and spindle speed) on the quality of the processed surface, expressed in terms of roughness and macrostructure in the case of parts processed by single point incremental forming. The analysis was made on A1050 aluminium metal sheets. The obtained results revealed that the process parameters influence differently the surface quality, the worst influence being exerted by the increase of the vertical step of tool. </p>
