Abstract

Incremental sheet metal forming (ISF) process is an established agile forming method wherein the blank of the sheet metal is deformed into a preferred geometric by the sequence of bit-by-bit local deformation produced by the forming tool. There is no need for a die to shape the sheet metal, which is the principal strength of this process. The review made on the ISF process and particularly the different deformation mechanisms that are generated on the sheet metal during the ISF process are discussed broadly in this paper. The effects of this deformation mechanism on the ISF process are also discussed. The recent developments in ISF processes, such as Heat Assisted ISF process, Water Jet ISF process, Electromagnetic ISF process for sheet metals and Multi-stage ISF process, are also discussed in detail. Each of these processes possesses its distinct merits and demerits which are also listed. The ISF process is performed on different materials that were also discussed.

期刊介绍： The Journal publishes and disseminates original research in the field of material forming. The research should constitute major achievements in the understanding, modeling or simulation of material forming processes. In this respect ‘forming’ implies a deliberate deformation of material. The journal establishes a platform of communication between engineers and scientists, covering all forming processes, including sheet forming, bulk forming, powder forming, forming in near-melt conditions (injection moulding, thixoforming, film blowing etc.), micro-forming, hydro-forming, thermo-forming, incremental forming etc. Other manufacturing technologies like machining and cutting can be included if the focus of the work is on plastic deformations. All materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, glass, wood, fibre reinforced materials, materials in food processing, biomaterials, nano-materials, shape memory alloys etc.) and approaches (micro-macro modelling, thermo-mechanical modelling, numerical simulation including new and advanced numerical strategies, experimental analysis, inverse analysis, model identification, optimization, design and control of forming tools and machines, wear and friction, mechanical behavior and formability of materials etc.) are concerned.
