Abstract
Hole-flanging is the process of forming a plate to produce a collar around the hole. This formed collar has several important functions to increase the bonding surface area, as a supporting medium for other components, as a guide, increase construction rigidity, etc. This collar is generally formed through conventional hole flanging which involves making the initial hole in the plate, then punch with a certain profile and a larger diameter pressing the plate in one step of the forming process. This forming process will cause the deformation of the plate so that a collar is formed around the hole. In recent studies, it can be found that the collar can be formed not only with one stage of the conventional hole flanging process, but can also be achieved by a multi-stage incremental hole flanging process using a punch with a multi-purpose general profile. In this research, an experimental study was carried out on the effect of ‘strain hardening’ on the limit forming ratio (LFR) in the single-step incremental hole flanging process on aluminium plates using conical punch. The research hypothesis shows the influence of ‘strain hardening’ on the limit forming ratio (LFR) in the single-step incremental hole flanging process.
