Experimental Investigations and Numerical Analysis for Improving Knowledge of Incremental Sheet Forming Process for Sheet Metal Parts
The paper is related to the analysis of shape distortions and springback effects arising in Single Point Incremental Forming. An experimental set up has been designed and manufactured to carry single point incremental forming on small size sheet metal parts. The experimental set up is mounted on 3-axes CNC milling machine tool and the forming tool is attached and move with the spindle. Experiments have been carried out on sheet metal parts to obtain tronconical shapes. The forming strategy associated to the movement of the forming tool has been also investigated. The experiments indicate that shape distortions arising in the corners of the tronconical shape are clearly related to forming st…
A Mechano-Chemical Coupling for Hydrogen Diffusion in Metals Based on a Thermodynamic Approach
Hydrogen diffusion in metals is still an ongoing topic of research due to its technical relevance (hydrogen embrittlement, hydrogen storage...). In the last decades, significant progress in understanding the time evolution of the hydrogen concentration in solids was completed. This paper presents a modeling of hydrogen diffusion with a general and thermodynamically based diffusion concept coupled with mechanical and chemical aspects. This model was previously used to simulate the oxidation of a metal [1][2]. This concept has been upgraded to offer a thoroughly macroscopic behavior law used to simulate hydrogen diffusion in metal parts under mechanical loadings. The thermodynamic approach of…

Towards a Study of Effects on Hydrogen Diffusion into T40 Titanium Alloys
In a global study of titanium alloys behavior in specific aqueous solution (embrittlement, corrosion and corrosion under stresses), the present work focuses on hydrogen diffusion into the metal and the consequences on its microstructure. Two ways of hydrogen charging were used to investigate this issue (gaseous and cathodic charging). The final aim is to determine a fitted method to create an identified microstructure and then to perform accelerated aging tests of titanium U-Bend samples into an autoclave with a specific environment. Hydrogen absorption and formation of titanium hydride have been studied by SEM analyses and by X-ray diffraction methods.
