The Effect of the Drawing Angle and the Tool Diameter on Forming Force Prediction in Single Point Incremental Forming
摘要
This research aims to investigate with experimental studies and numerical modeling the influence of tool diameter size with different toolpath strategies and the wall angle variation on the forming force during the single point incremental forming (SPIF) process of aluminum alloy AA3003 and AA3103 sheets. The elastoplastic model was adopted to describe the behavior of the material under the tensile test. The results have demonstrated that increasing the tool diameter contributes to the rise of the forming force. However, a comparison was established when employing different toolpath strategies. The forming force arises when the wall angle increases its value up to a certain value.
