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.

Abstract Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is a promising flexible manufacturing process, which has been tested in sheet forming of various metallic materials. Although ISF-based forming of thermoplastics is relatively new, it has drawn considerable interests and significant progress has been made in recent years. This paper presents a review of concurrent research on the emerging trend of thermoplastic-focused ISF processes. Attention is given to the processing conditions including process setup, process parameters and forming forces. The deformation mechanism and failure behaviour during ISF of thermoplastics are evaluated, which leads to detailed discussions on the formability, effect of different process parameters and the forming quality such as geometric accuracy, surface finish and other consideration factors in ISF of thermoplastics. A comparison of important similarities and differences between ISF of thermoplastic and metallic materials is made. Finally, a brief discussion is provided on the technical challenges and research directions for ISF of thermoplastic materials in the future.

Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is an emerging technique of sheet metal working that comes into the picture in the last two decades. The ISF involved the forming of shapes without using the dedicated dies. ISF is suitable for customized products, rapid prototyping, and low batch production. The study aims to investigate the effect of process parameters on the surface roughness. The experiments are conducted on aluminum AA3003-O grade with six parameters, and the trials are performed according to the design of experiment (DOE). The atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique is used for measuring the surface roughness. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used for analyzing the effect of process parameters in ISF. The result shows that the step-down size, feed rate of the tool, and wall angle are significant process parameter and their contributions for ISF are 85.86%, 1.12%, and 12.29%, respectively.

Incremental sheet forming (ISF), based on the ‘layered manufacturing’ principle of rapid prototype manufacturing technology, is an innovative and highly flexible technology for forming complex shaped parts without the need for costly dies. This paper presents a numerical investigation on the influence of forming process parameters by modeling the forming process. ANSYS/LS-DYNA has been used for the simulation. The results of study show that small vertical step size can improve the accuracy of the forming. Moreover, large forming angle can increase plastic strain and the four screwdown point optimization paths is an effective method to increase the accuracy of the formed sheet.

Compressive Residual Stresses

AbstractDisc springs are machine elements that are used when high forces need to be supplied and in limited installation space. They need to fulfil high demands on the stability of the spring characteristics, reliability and lifetime. In corrosive environments, metastable austenitic stainless steels (MASS) disc springs are often used. Tensile stresses that occur during service limit the lifetime of disc springs. Usually, their durability is enhanced by generating favorable compressive residual stresses using shot peening operations. Such operations lead to extra efforts and additional production costs. In this study, the adaptive and targeted generation of residual stresses via incremental sheet forming (ISF) is investigated as alternative to shot peening focusing on EN 1.4310 and EN 1.4401 stainless steel. Previous work has shown that ISF is capable of controlling the radial and tangential stresses in the springs. However, no analysis of the influence of the residual stress state in the rolled sheet strips and the ISF process parameters was performed. The goal of the current work is to analyze the evolution of residual stress during rolling and subsequent incremental forming of disc springs. In order to examine the role of dissipation and temperature increases in the rolling process, sheet blanks rolled at room and elevated temperature are analyzed. The characteristics of the compressive residual stresses induced by ISF are studied for different process parameters. X‑ray diffraction is used to investigate the buildup of these stresses. Using ISF, the generation of compressive residual stresses can be integrated into the forming process of disc springs, and further post-treatment may be skipped. The results show that the residual stress state in the rolled material is crucial, which requires tight control of the rolling temperature. Another result is that ISF is able to yield high compressive residual stresses and improved spring characteristics when small tool diameters and step-down values are used.
