Abstract

The present investigation systematically analyzes and compares the influence of microstructure and crystallographic texture of AA1050 sheet to that of the most critical process parameters, namely tool dimension, and incremental step depth, in single-point incremental forming (SPIF) process. The sheet samples were preheated at different temperatures to reform the original, i.e., distorted and misoriented grain distribution. The results from experimental and statistical analyses report higher sensitivity of global spring back, surface topography and forming limits strains to variations in microstructure and texture than tool diameter and incremental step depth. The preheating of the sheets resulted in the formation of preferential texture by grain reformation, which leads to the increase in the fraction of homogeneous orientated grains. Such grains increase the maximum forming limit strains and reduce the global spring back in SPIF. Fractography analysis of the failed components revealed that improvement in formability due to grain homogenization (developed texture) may be attributed to larger average void diameter. Empirical models were also developed, and optimized levels of parameters were identified to maximize the efficiency of the SPIF process. Further, qualitative and quantitative characterization of orange peel roughness was carried out by segregating the external formed surface into surfaces subjected to orange peel roughness and tool-induced texture.
