A Research of the Precision of Titanium Sheet Formed by Hot Incremental Sheet Forming Method

Abstract:

Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a recent technology of forming sheet in several decades. Nowadays, SPIF technology is still continued to be studied, applied and ameliorated in sheet manufacturing in industry. However one of the difficulties of the technology is the forming angle is still small (smaller than 80⁰ according the properties of metal sheets). This paper recommends a measure of increasing the plasticity of the sheet by heating in time of forming by SPIF technology. Naturally, the plasticity of metal sheet increases by the temperature of the material in forming process with its limitation and constraint. The paper represents the effect of heating metal sheet through the empirical process of SPIF technology directed by the design of experiment (DOE). The analyses of the results of experimental process is applied to show the effect of heating to the precision of Titanium sheet. Finally, some private opinions about the heating in SPIF are also mentioned as a very tiny contribution of the research for the new technology.
