Abstract

Unlike other press forming processes, ISF (Incremental sheet forming) doesn't require a punch and die set. However, during the ISF processes unwanted bending deformation occurred around the target geometry. This paper is aimed to analyze the effect of the die structure, which is supported by bolts, on the geometric accuracy of the ISF processes. In this research, the ISF processes with Al5052 sheet of 0.5 mm, the tool diameter of 6 mm and the stepdown of 0.4 mm was employed. L-shaped, step-shaped, relief-shaped geometry were employed in experiments. Sectional view and the plastic strain were compared. From this research we find out that the bolt supported ISF processes increases the geometric accuracy of products very effectively.
