On the high-speed Single Point Incremental Forming of titanium alloys

Abstract

Single Point Incremental Forming processes show some limitations related to both dimensional accuracy and process slowness. The process slowness is here overcome by introducing the high speed forming, which allows a reduction to less than 1min of execution time of target components made in Titanium alloys. The paper is aimed at analyzing the influence of the feed increasing on the material quality in order to investigate if the development of high speed machines could be a suitable solution to implement more extensively the Single Point Incremental Forming technique in practice.All the results are discussed in the paper.
