Forming-based geometric correction methods for thin-walled metallic components: a selective review

Abstract Geometric correction processes contribute to zero-defect manufacturing for improved product quality. Thin-walled metallic components are widely used in numerous applications such as electric vehicles and aircraft due the lightweight feature, facilitating achieve zero-emission goals. However, many suffer geometric imperfections inaccuracies undesired curvatures twists, seriously affecting subsequent operations, example, automatic welding assembly. techniques have been established address these issues, but they drawn little attention scientific community despite their wide urgent demands industry. Due strict tolerances demanded high-volume automated production, it is increase knowledge needed develop new future industrial challenges. This review paper presents an overview of typical defects thin-walled clarifies associated underlying generation mechanisms. Attempts also made discuss categorize based on different forming The challenges correcting complex products discussed. provides researchers engineers with directions find select appropriate methods high accuracy components.
