Abstract
Nowadays, the manufacturing industry is focused on newer modern manufacturing methods, such as single point incremental forming (SPIF). The popularity of the SPIF process in the manufacturing industry is increasing due to its capability for rapid prototyping, forming complex geometry with simple steps, and customizing products for customers. This study investigates the effect of forming parameters (feed rate and step size) on the surface structure of the aluminum AA6061 sheet. We employ fractal theory to investigate the complexity of deformed surfaces. Accordingly, we study the relationship between the complexity and roughness of the deformed surface. The results show that the complexity and roughness of the deformed surface vary due to the changes in forming parameters. Fractal analysis can be further employed in other manufacturing processes to investigate the relation between the complexity and roughness of processed surfaces.
