Formability of Aluminum in Incremental Sheet Forming

Abstract

Single point incremental forming (SPIF) process is used to deform complex shapes. Through SPIF process metallic sheet is formed. The formability of a AA5052 is evaluated using SPIF method for industry level product. The utility of SPIF is broad in industries because of the simple operating system of manufacturing and designing metal substances throughout computer design combined with the CNC machine. While forming Mantellic sheet there are many benefits. This process is extensively adopted in automobile, aeronautical, and medical industries for engineering complex parts. In this paper, the main objective is to examine the formability of AA5052 aluminum alloy raw material with various wall angles and operating boundaries using the modified computer numerical control (CNC) milling machine. Here, the shape correctness and the surface roughness are focused for computing the forming depth, wall angle, and spring-back for obtaining improved parts with a proper material with finish surface. For verifying the real-time experiments and evaluating the existence of stress, strain, and thickness variations.
