Abstract

Single point incremental forming (SPIF) is a sheet-forming technique. It is a die-less sheet metal manufacturing process for rapid prototyping and small batch production. The Critical parameters in the forming process include tool diameter, step depth, feed rate, spindle speed, etc. In this study, these parameters and the die shape corresponding to the Varying Wall Angle Conical Frustum(VWACF) model were used for forming 0.8mm in thick Al5052-O sheets. The Taguchi method of Experiments of Design (DOE) and Grey relational optimization were used to determine the optimum parameters in SPIF. A response study was performed on formability, spring back, and thickness reduction. The research shows that the optimum combination of these parameters that yield best performance of SPIF is as follows: tool diameter, 6mm; spin speed, 60rpm; step depth, 0.3mm; and feed rate, 500mm/min.

점진 판재 성형은 금형을 제작하지 않고 판재를 가공하는 방법으로써 빠른 시제품 제작과 소량 생산에 적합한 성형법이다. 이러한 점진 판재 성형의 공정 변수로 공구 직경, 매 스탭당 z-방향 깊이, 공구 이송속도, 공구 회전 속도 등은 성형품의 품질에 크게 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 Al5052-O(0.8mm) 판재를 사용하여 Varying Wall Angle Conical Frustum 모델의 점진성형을 실시하였으며, 각각의 변수들의 조합에서 성형성을 판단하였다. 다구찌 기법을 사용하여 점진성형 변수들의 조합을 찾아내고, 그레이 관계형 최적화를 통하여 최적 성형 변수 값의 조합을 찾아 내였다. 최종 성형물의 품질은 성형성, 스프링 백, 두께 감소량을 측정하여 판단하였다. 본 연구의 실험 조건에서의 최적의 변수 조합은 공구직경 6 mm, 회전속도 60rpm, 매 스탭당 z-방향 깊이 0.3 mm, 이송속도 500 mm/min으로 판단되었다.
