Incremental sheet forming of aluminum with warm

Abstract

This article aims to present a preliminary study of single point incremental sheet forming (SPIF) with warm for aluminum sheet of 1 millimeter (mm) thickness, with a propose of evaluate the contribution of adding heat for the process and even, how to reduce the processing time. For this evaluation was compared the dimensional errors between the pieces formed by the process with warm and without warm. More favorable results are presented for the SPIF with warm.
