Experimental Research on Wolfram Inert Gas AA1050 Aluminum Alloy Tailor Welded Blanks Processed by Single Point Incremental Forming Process

The present paper aims to study the behavior of tailor welded blanks subjected a single point incremental forming (SPIF) process from an experimental view. This was chosen deform truncated cone shapes AA1050 aluminum alloy with different thicknesses. A uniaxial tensile test performed determine mechanical characteristics alloy. Initial tests implicated use variable wall angle parts which were processed on unwelded sheet for determination material and forces. Afterwards, wolfram inert gas (WIG) welding technique used joining two thicknesses either through one pass side, or by both sides. conclusion this indicates that one-sided cannot be deformed successfully without fracture. In case two-sided blanks, results showed desired depth 25 mm can reached successfully. SPIF process, if must deformed, then suitable method is weld
