Abstract

Incremental sheet forming is one of the latest processes in sheet metal forming industry which has drawn attention of various researchers. It has shown improved formability compared to stamping process. Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) process requires only hemispherical tool and no die is required hence, it is a die-less forming process. In this paper experimental investigation on SPIF for Aluminium sheet has been presented. A groove test on Vertical Machining Centre has been performed. Factors (Step depth, Blank holder clamping area, Backing plate radius, Program strategy, Feed rate and Tool diameter) affecting the process are identified and experiments are carried out using fractional factorial design of experiments. Effect of the factors on fractured depth, forming time and surface finish have been analyzed using Minitab 17 software.
