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 ...

In this study, an artificial neural network was used to predict the minimum force required to single point incremental forming (SPIF) of thin sheets of Aluminium AA3003-O and calamine brass Cu67Zn33 alloy. Accordingly, the parameters for processing, i.e., step depth, the feed rate of the tool, spindle speed, wall angle, thickness of metal sheets and type of material were selected as input and t...

Abstract. This paper provides an analysis of the Rigid Body Motion (RBM) in multi-stage Single Point Incremental Forming a cylindrical cup. The RBM is studied using Digital Image Correlation to track material each contour tool, resulting better understanding phenomenon than has been shown literature. study shows that highest Z-translations midpoint cone take place last contours stage, where the...
