Abstract

To furthermore optimize the machining parameters and improve the surface quality of the workpieces manufactured by single point incremental forming method, the formation mechanism of the sacle veins on the metal incremental froming workpieces was studied through experiment method. The influence principle of the spindle speed, the feed speed and the material of tip of tools on the length of scale veins was obtained through analyzing the experimental results and building the mathematical model among the length of scale veins were feed speed and spindle speed through measuring the roughness of surfaces and observing the appearance of the forming workpieces. The experimental results showed that, the spindle speed, the feed speed and the material of tool tips have a significant effect on the scale veins formation on the surface of forming workpieces. Therefore, an appropriate group of spindle speed and feed speed can reduce the effect of scale veins on the roughness of single point incremental forming workpieces and furthermore improve the surface quality of forming workpieces.

Keywords: Feed speed, Incremental forming, Scale veins, Spindle speed, Surface quality, Surface roughness.
