Impact of mechanical properties on sheet metal forming processes by using single-point incremental shaping method

Abstract

The usage of single tool using Computer numerical control (CNC) machines in processes. These flexible processes satisfying the need of the manufacturer through the Single point incremental forming (SPIF). Modern and die less sheet metal forming technique applied in this technique mainly for small batch and custom made items of different shapes and dimensions. It offers many advantages compared with traditional sheet processes, especially in terms of flexibility and material formability. The basic idea is to build the knowledge about the advanced manufacturing process and do preliminary investigation on the applicability of single point incremental forming process. In obtaining the mechanical properties, two types of tests are being conducted. They are tensile test and composition test. These test conducted according to ASTM E8M and ASTM B209 respectively. The present work is to be carried out on Aluminium alloy which have very important industrial application with a light weight to strength ratio. In this work the stress, strain, formability, wrinkles, deformation will be studied.
