Lightweight materials, such as titanium alloys, magnesium and aluminium are characterised by unusual combinations of high strength, corrosion resistance, low weight. However, some the grades these alloys exhibit poor formability at room temperature, which limits their application in sheet metal-forming processes. materials used extensively automobile aerospace industries, leading to increasing ...

Abstract. The growing market for fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (FRTP) requires new flexible production processes prototype and small series production, as conventional forming techniques involving molds are not cost efficient in these cases. Inspired by incremental sheet metal (ISF), an alternative manufacturing the of FRTP with just two robot guided standard tools is outlined. To maintain a ...

Abstract In this work it is assessed the potential of combining conventional and incremental sheet forming processes in a same metal. This so-called hybrid approach performed through manufacture pre-forming by forming, followed forming. The main objective analyzing strain evolution. induced stage will determine paths, directly influencing strains produced process. To conduct study, processes, w...

Pressure-assisted single-point incremental forming (PA-SPIF) is one of the emerging techniques for sheet metals that have been subject rigorous research over past two decades. Understanding its mechanisms and capabilities growing as a result. Open gaps are still present in material constitutive modelling accurate numerical predictions finite-element simulations characteristics localised deforma...
