Abstract

Incremental forming is a flexible and adaptable process with a high scope in future for prototyping sector and batch shop production. It finds application in almost every engineering field. One such prominent field is the research and development. The research and development are often associated with prototyping of a variety of products for evaluating and testing the design and clarifying production costs and issues. In this paper, experimentation of Ti-6Al-4V sheets using SPIF was studied, and the influence of tool feed (f), incremental step depth (d) and spindle speed (s) to the surface roughness (Ra), wall angle (θ), and average thickness (t) were evaluated. The method was carried out using CNC Milling Machine with the help of a fixture and hemispherical end tool. Response surface methodology was used to design the experiments, and ANOVA was performed to find the factor which affected the selected method significantly. Finally, the input parameters were optimized to achieve maximum wall thickness, minimum surface roughness, and maximum wall angle.
