Single point incremental sheet metal forming has passed through a period of ample improvement with developing responsiveness from research societies and industries globally. The process has expressively spared the practice of using costly dies, which makes it an appropriate process for manufacturing prototypes and small batch production. It also discovers easiness in fabricating components of timeworn equipment. Additionally, in recent years, aluminum alloys become the most commonly used materials in the automotive, aeronautics, and transportation industries for their structural and other applications. The effect of various process parameters on the formability of Single Point Incremental Forming of aluminum alloys has been critically surveyed. Ultimately, this article also debated the dares associated with the Single Point Incremental Forming process and recommended some correlated research regions which probably charm significant research considerations in the future.

In this paper the FE simulation and experimental equipment and design of the system for deformation by single point incremental sheet metal forming are presented. The formability is executed at room temperature and needs the milling machine, the tool of hemispherical head and toroidal head applied to deform the sheet, whereas translates from the peripheral of the sheet to its focus that additionally driving the sheet down. The blank is distorted increment by increment into the required shape via hemispherical or toroidal nose instrument going along a circular way. In the present investigation, the deformation’s analyses were down on the aluminum 7075 compound with thickness (0.9mm) and various device nose are enormously impact on the contact region and its observed that the hemispherical apparatus gives the best outcome. Close to this investigation consequence of the impact of shaping instrument nose on the formability is displayed. The ANSYS results are comparison with results obtained experimentally and it's discovered the deviation about 8% and this is expected to the criteria of spring-back.

AbstractProcess-induced residual stresses significantly influence the mechanical properties of a formed component. A polymer pad is used as a flexible die in two-point incremental forming to induce compressive residual stresses in the component during the forming process. Experimental and numerical results illustrate the influence of compressive stress superposition on the component properties. It is shown that the active support, using a geometry-independent polyurethane die, causes beneficial compressive residual stresses on the tool side compared to the tensile residual stresses induced by the single-point incremental forming process without such a supporting die.

Incremental Sheet metal Forming (ISF) is a reliable process of converting a blank to work piece with better outputs compared to conventional forming process. The flexibility of ISF in producing the rapid prototype based on the customer needs is increased which is also desirable in the industry. But Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) process takes more time to form a product and hence the longer time is a barrier in implementing this process in industries. In this research work, the ISF process was made on sheet metal SS 202 using a newly designed multi-point tool and the obtained outputs were compared with the same material of sheet metal formed by traditionally available single point tool. This Multi Point Incremental Forming (MPIF) process takes lesser process time to give better formability, improved wall angle and good surface roughness. The input process parameters selected for the process are type of tool, speed, feed, Vertical Step Depth (VSD), and lubrication. They are arranged by using the taguchi Design of Experiments (DOE) approach. The responses considered are wall angle, formability, surface roughness, spring back and forming time. The multiple outputs obtained were optimized by Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) to predict the superior parameter. Confirmation test was also made to validate the output result. Fractography analysis was carried out to predict the fracture mechanism obtained during the forming process. The surface topography was also made on the surface of the formed area of the sheet metal. This research work concludes that newly designed MPIF outperforms SPIF.
