Abstract: The present paper describes the experimental investigation on influence of process parameters on maximum forming force in Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) process using dummy sheet. Process parameters namely dummy sheet thickness, tool size, step size, wall angle and feed rate are selected. Taguchi L18 orthogonal array is used to design the experiments. From the analysis of variance (ANOVA) dummy sheet thickness, tool size, step size and wall angle are significant process parameters while feed rate is insignificant. It is found that as dummy sheet thickness, tool size, step size and wall angle increase magnitude of peak forming force increases while there is marginal decrease in forming force as feed rate increases. Predictive model is also developed for forming force. Validation tests are performed in order to check the accuracy of developed model. Optimum set of process parameters is also determined to minimize forming force. Experimental results are in good agreement with results predicted by the developed mathematical model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established practical formulae allowing to predict the forces occurring during the single point incremental forming process, based on a large set of systematic experiments on the one hand and on results of finite elements modeling simulations on the other.
Abstract: The aim of the study was to establish practical formulae allowing to predict the forces occurring during the single point incremental forming process. This study has been based on a large set of systematic experiments on the one hand and on results of finite elements modeling simulations on the other. This led to analytical formulae allowing to compute the three main components of the force for five selected materials in function of the working conditions (sheet thickness, wall angle, tool diameter, and step down) with a good precision. Moreover, a general model has been deduced, allowing to compute an approximate value for the force for any material, based on knowledge of the tensile strength only.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of tool rotation on an incremental forming process is investigated in terms of forming forces, temperatures reached and surface roughness, whereas neither the heating of the sheet caused by the friction nor the surface finishing feel the effects of this parameter significantly.
