The present paper describes the experimental investigation on influence of process parameters on maximum forming force in Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) process using dummy sheet. Process parameters namely dummy sheet thickness, tool size, step size, wall angle and feed rate are selected. Taguchi L18 orthogonal array is used to design the experiments. From the analysis of variance (ANOVA) dummy sheet thickness, tool size, step size and wall angle are significant process parameters while feed rate is insignificant. It is found that as dummy sheet thickness, tool size, step size and wall angle increase magnitude of peak forming force increases while there is marginal decrease in forming force as feed rate increases. Predictive model is also developed for forming force. Validation tests are performed in order to check the accuracy of developed model. Optimum set of process parameters is also determined to minimize forming force. Experimental results are in good agreement with results predicted by the developed mathematical model.

Prediction of forming forces in Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) is specially important in the case of using adapted machinery not designed for the process. Moreover, forming force is an important indicator that can be monitored on-line and utilized for real time process control. Besides experimentation, simulations based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) have been utilized as a reliable source of process force data. Nevertheless, the long solution times required to simulate ISF renders difficult its inclusion into a process optimization chain. In consequence, models that predict the forces required to manufacture simple parts have appeared. This work begins with a review of forming force models available for Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF). Then, an equation recently proposed in the literature is compared with published experimental results of SPIF under different working conditions. The same data is employed to verify our own FEM simulations. Finally, the above-mentioned formula and FEM simulation were applied to predict the forming force of Variable Wall Angle (VWA) geometries where available force information is limited. Besides the applicability assessment of the equation, results will supplement a future experimental campaign focused in modeling geometries of intermediate complexity level by means of Computational Intelligence methods.

Single point incremental forming (SPIF) is an emerging process that is well-known to be suited for fabrication in small series production. The aim of this paper was to determine the optimal input parameters of the process in order to minimise the maximum of both the axial and the in-plane components of the forming force achieved during SPIF and the surface roughness of the internal surface of truncated-cone drawpieces. Grade 2 pure titanium sheets with a thickness of 0.4 mm were used as the test material. The central composite design and response surface method was used to determine the number of experiments required to study the responses through building a second-order quadratic model. Two directions of rotation of the forming tool were also considered. The input parameters were spindle speed, tool feed rate, and step size. The mathematical relations were defined using the response surfaces to predict the surface roughness of the drawpieces and the components of the forming force. It was found that feed rate has an insignificant role in both axial and in-plane forming forces, but step size is a major factor affecting axial and radial forming forces. However, step size directly affects the surface roughness on the inner surfaces of the drawpieces. Overall, the spindle speed −579 rpm (clockwise direction), tool feed 2000 mm/min, and step size 0.5 mm assure a minimisation of both force components and the surface roughness of drawpieces.

In order to solve the problem of low accuracy caused by instability and springback during the single point incremental forming (SPIF) process, static pressure support (SPS) and ultrasonic vibration (UV) are introduced into the technology for auxiliary forming. In order to qualitatively and quantitatively study the mechanism of static pressure support–ultrasonic vibration-single point incremental forming (SPS-UV-SPIF) force, a typical truncated cone is used as the research object. The working principle and motion rules of the technology are analyzed. The sheet micro-element of the sidewall area is taken as an analysis object. The spatial stress balance equation of the sheet is constructed. The various stresses are integrated and calculated. The forces in each area of the sheet are analyzed and modeled. Finally, an analytical model for SPS-UV-SPIF force is established. The influence law of the static pressure parameter and the vibration parameter on the forming force is obtained. The corresponding SPS system and UV system are designed. The Kistler forming force test system is built. The experimental results are consistent with the theoretical analysis results, which verifies the correctness of the analytical model.
