The Influence of Temperature on Secondary Forming of Titanium Gr 2 Sheet by Use of Single Point Incremental Forming

Abstract:

The single point incremental forming (SPIF) is a sheet metal forming process with high flexibility on manufacture of each individual workpiece. However, it usually requires more processing time than a conventional forming method and is important to process with appropriate parameters. This study is to investigate the influence of different temperatures on continuing secondary forming of Ti Gr2 sheet, employed the stress relieving and annealing temperature after primary forming. The deformed parts were examined on the following criteria; internal contact surface roughness, microhardness and sectional microstructure. Stress relieving and annealing temperatures of 580°C and 780°C were applied to the formed parts prior to their secondary forming. It is found that the surface roughness increased from Ra 2.104 μm and 2.498 μm to Ra 2.55 μm and 3.18 μm respectively after secondary forming. The formability of 25 mm radius test specimens remained at 12 mm depth with limited obvious change.
