This study aims to evaluate the behavior of ASTM A653 CS-A G90 steel in the process of Incremental Sheet Forming – ISF, based on the following parameters: diameter of the tool (Dt in mm) and the vertical step size between consecutive contours (∆z in mm). The experiments were based on a variation of the ISF process, called Single Point Incremental Forming - SPIF. In this study, seventeen tests were conducted using a punching tool with diameters (Dt ) of 5, 6 and 8 mm and vertical steps (∆z) of 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm, intending to evaluate the true strain to the ISF process and the surface finishing measured by roughness parameter (Rz). Whereas, for the execution of practical testing, the resources used were a CNCmachining center with three axes, tools for incremental forming and a sheet-press device. As a result, greater depths were achieved using an incremental step of 0.4 mm. In additional tests, it came to attention that the diameter of the tool was also an important parameter when it is desired to increase the formability and greater depths are obtained when using small diameters. It can be observed yet, there is a tendency to increase the roughness parameter Rz when using greater vertical steps ∆z

Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a new method of forming sheet metal for which not all forming limits and forming parameters are yet completely understood. In this paper, a Box-Behnken design of experiment (DOE) is used to execute an experimental study used to determine the forming limits in Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF). The Box-Behnken allows for good accuracy in defining a surface response for a relatively low number of experimental runs – hence its usefulness in experimental work. The Box-Behnken used in this paper solved five factors at three levels in forty six runs. The five factors analyzed are based on the most critical factors effecting SPIF; they are material type, material thickness, formed shape, tool size and incremental step size (depth of each step in form). The data resulting from the Box-Behnken progressed into graphical response surfaces; the response surfaces allow designers to determine what factors they need to select in order to successfully form a part using SPIF.

Single point incremental forming (SPIF) is a modern method of forming sheet metal, where parts can be formed without the use of dedicated dies. The ability of SPIF to form a part is based on various forming parameters. Previous work was not accomplished with the help of design of experiments (DOE), thus reducing the number of parameters varied at any time. This paper presents a Box-Behnken experimental design, which develops the numerical plan, formalizes the forming parameters critical in SPIF and analyse data. The most critical factors affecting SPIF were found to be wall inclination angle, incremental step size, material thickness and tool size. The main effects of these parameters on the quality of the formed parts were studied in detail. Actually this work aims to “optimize the thinning rate and the maximum force by considering the tool diameter and the vertical pitch as unknown parameters for two different wall angles and thicknesses”. To this purpose, an optimization procedure based on the use of response surface methodology (RSM) and genetic algorithms (GA) have been proposed for application to find the optimum solutions. Finally, it demonstrated that the developed methods can solve high non-linear problems successfully. Associated plots are shown to be very efficient for a quick localization of the region of the search space containing the global optimum values of the SPIF parameters.

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.

In this paper the Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF) was utilized after Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) process as a combined finishing process. Firstly, the Single Point Incremental forming was form the truncated cone made from low carbon steel (1008-AISI) based on Z-level tool path then the magnetic abrasive finishing process was applied on the surface of the formed product. Box-Behnken design of experiment in Minitab 17 software was used in this study. The influences of different parameters (feed rate, machining step size, coil current and spindle speed) on change in Micro-Vickers hardness were studied. The maximum and minimum change in Micro-Vickers hardness that achieved from all the experiments were (40.4 and 1.1) respectively. The contribution percent of (feed rate, machining step size, coil current and spindle speed) were (7.1, 18.068, 17.376 and 37.894) % respectively. After MAF process all the micro surface cracks that generated on the workpiece surface was completely removed from the surface.

Incremental sheet forming is a specific group of sheet forming methods that enable the manufacture of complex parts utilizing computer numerical control instead of specialized tools. It is an incredibly adaptable operation that involves minimal usage of sophisticated tools, dies, and forming presses. Besides its main application in the field of rapid prototyping, incremental sheet forming processes can be used for the manufacture of unique parts in small batches. The goal of this study is to broaden the knowledge of the deformation process in single-point incremental forming. This work studies the deformation behavior in single-point incremental forming by experimentally investigating the principal stresses, principal strains, and thinning of single-point incremental forming products. Conical-shaped components are fabricated using AA1050-H14 aluminum alloy at various combinations of fundamental variables. The factorial design is employed to plan the experimental study and analysis of variance is conducted to analyze the results. The grey relational analysis approach coupled with entropy weights is also implemented to identify optimum process variables for single-point incremental forming. The results show that the tool diameter has the greatest effect on the thinning of the SPIF product, followed by the sheet thickness, step size, and feed rate.

<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>

Prototyping through incremental sheet forming is emerging as a latest trend in the manufacturing industries for fabricating personalized components according to customer requirement. In this study, a laboratory scale single-point incremental forming test setup was designed and fabricated to deform AA6061 sheet metal plastically. In addition, response surface methodology with Box–Behnken design technique was used to establish different regression models correlating input process parameters with mechanical responses such as angle of failure, part depth per unit time and surface roughness. Correspondingly, the regression models were implemented to optimize the input process parameters, and the predicted responses were successfully validated at the optimal conditions. It was observed that the predicted absolute error for angle of failure, part depth per unit time and surface roughness responses was approximately 0.9%, 4.4% and 6.3%, respectively, for the optimum parametric combination. Furthermore, the post-deformation responses from an optimized single point incremental forming truncated cone were correlated with microstructural evolution. It was observed that the peak hardness and highest areal surface roughness of 158 ± 9 HV and 1.943 μm, respectively, were found near to the pole of single-point incremental forming truncated cone, and the highest major plastic strain at this region was 0.80. During incremental forming, a significant increase in microhardness occurred due to grain refinement, whereas a substantial increase in the Brass and S texture component was responsible for the increase in the surface roughness.

These paper aims to determine the influence of the most important geometrical parameters (vertical step and punch diameter) on the main strains, thickness reduction and the forces along two directions during the single point incremental forming process (SPIF). The paper comprises a comparative numericalexperimental study, for a simple geometry part obtained by incremental forming. In fact, in the first stage, the punch has a vertical motion with the value of one vertical step. In the second stage, the punch follows a linear trajectory along one side of the die. After each linear trajectory the punch has successive vertical motions, taking one vertical step at a time until the entire geometry of the part is done. In order to study the influence of the geometrical parameters, to the vertical step and the punch diameter were assigned three levels of variation. Following the selection of these geometrical parameters values, a factorial experimental program of type 32 has been adopted. The maximum values of the main strain and thickness reduction rises with the decrease of both vertical step and punch diameter and the maximum values of the forces are reached with the increase of both vertical step and punch diameter.
