Abstract With a view to improving the surface quality of the magnesium (Mg) alloy at a warm temperature, the ultrasonic-assisted warm single point incremental forming (SPIF) is proposed. The surface quality of the Mg alloy during the warm SPIF is primarily affected by two parts: the orange peel patterns of the non-contact surface and the scratches and adhesive wear of the contact surface. In this work, the surface quality of the AZ31B Mg alloy sheet parts at different forming temperatures and ultrasonic amplitudes is evaluated by examining the surface roughness and topography. The results show that the generation of orange peel patterns is significantly affected by temperature. In addition, scratches and adhesive wear of the contact surface increase with the rising temperature. After applying the ultrasonic vibration (UV), the quality of both the non-contact and the contact surfaces of the parts are significantly improved, but too large ultrasonic amplitude slightly reduces the surface quality. Moreover, the microstructural examination results show that UV has a great effect on dynamic recrystallization and grain refinement, which positively affects surface quality improvement.

<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>

To furthermore optimize the machining parameters and improve the surface quality of the workpieces manufactured by single point incremental forming method, the formation mechanism of the sacle veins on the metal incremental froming workpieces was studied through experiment method. The influence principle of the spindle speed, the feed speed and the material of tip of tools on the length of scale veins was obtained through analyzing the experimental results and building the mathematical model among the length of scale veins were feed speed and spindle speed through measuring the roughness of surfaces and observing the appearance of the forming workpieces. The experimental results showed that, the spindle speed, the feed speed and the material of tool tips have a significant effect on the scale veins formation on the surface of forming workpieces. Therefore, an appropriate group of spindle speed and feed speed can reduce the effect of scale veins on the roughness of single point incremental forming workpieces and furthermore improve the surface quality of forming workpieces.

The strategy in manufacturing hardened parts used in car bodies is to tailor the mechanical properties. This is done by combining together a high-strength region and a high-toughness region to ensure the crash performance required. Other successive secondary operations such as trimming, joining and welding can be improved as a result of the tailoring process. In this work, the mechanical properties of 22MnB5 alloy sheet material produced by single-point incremental forming have been tailored. For this purpose, the sheets were locally heated by induction during the forming process and subsequently cooled. The sheet temperature was controlled by the CNC milling machine feed rate and induction power. As a result, the produced tailored parts consist of three different regions: ductile, transition and hardened regions. The Vickers hardness values were 583 HV1 and 175 HV1 for the hardened and ductile regions, respectively. The proposed application allows forming and quenching at the same time without transfer and to reduce the process time.
