Abstract

Abstract: Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) process significantly reduces the tooling costs as compared to other conventional sheet metal processes where expensive dies are used to produce any product. Hence, multi-variety components in small batches can be manufactured at lower cost with ISF technology which prevents limitations of traditional sheet metal forming processes. This paper represents effects of process parameters on surface roughness of formed components on AA2024-O sheets. Surface roughness has been measured by a roughness tester. Average roughness was found to increase with decrease in tool diameter. Hemispherical ended tools produced better surface quality of formed components as compared to that produced by flat end tools
