FORMABILITY AND THICKNESS DISTRIBUTION ANALYSIS ON ALUMINIUM ALLOY 5052 USING SINGLE POINT INCREMENTAL FORMING

This project aims to analyze the formability by single point incremental forming on AA-5052 sheet metal
using with and without pre-cut holes. Forming limit diagram is based on the formability, which separates the forming
region and failure region. It represent the terms of major strain and minor strain under plane stress condition. The
process parameters involved in the single point incremental forming are sheet thickness, forming speed, and tool
diameter, step depth and wall angle. Tool path influences the formability and surface finish of the sheet metal. This
emphasizes the study of forming parameters to prevent failure in the sheet metals. This project aims to compare the
wall thickness and formability on AA-5052 sheet metal at annealed conditions by using Single Point Incremental
Forming.
