Abstract

The incremental sheet forming process (ISF) is the emerging forming process in the small size product manufacturing industries where as embossing, stamping, coining operations can be used to produce a product in large quantity. Therefore, ISF is one of the best solution to decrease the cost of production when a small quantity of product is demanded. In present study Efforts are devoted to study the effect of wall angle on sheet thinning, reaction forces, reaction moments, etc. for truncated cone of aluminium alloy (AA1050) using Finite Element simulation. Initially, A MATLAB code was written for spiral tool path. Modeling and simulation was done in ABAQUS software. Thereafter, a theoretical sheet thickness was computed using sine law and it was found out to be in close agreement with simulated sheet thickness.
