Energy efficiency analysis in Incremental Sheet Forming operations
In literature, manufacturing processes have been studied with different approaches, but a lack in terms of their environmental impact and energy required is still present. The aim of this paper is to compute some energy efficiency analysis on a specific manufacturing process. More in detail, the attention will be focused on the Incremental Sheet Forming process in order to evaluate the required energy and how it changes for changing process conditions. Accordingly, a wide experimental investigation has been executed taking into account different process parameters (i.e. tool depth step, punch diameter, wall inclination angle and sheet thickness). The total energy consumption has been monito…
Single Point Incremental Forming: analysis of sustainability of the process through an experimental approach
In literature, manufacturing processes have been studied with different approaches, but a lack of knowledge on the analysis of the energy required is still present. The aim of this paper is to carry out energy analysis on Single Point Incremental Forming process. Accordingly, a wide experimental investigation was executed by taking into account different process parameters (i.e. tool depth step, punch velocity and product shape). The total energy consumption was monitored during all the experiments and properly weighted with respect to the deformation energy, required to execute the process. A sensitivity analysis was also carried out to highlight the conditions which allow to save energy r…

A Comparison of Mechanical Properties and Microstructure in Friction Stir Welded and MIG Welded Light Alloys
Joining technologies are in a very interesting phase today due to some relevant innovations concerning new techniques. Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a relatively new process, patented by TWI in 1991, able to weld through a solid state bonding materials considered difficult to be welded or unweldable by more traditional fusion welding techniques. By using this process welded joints are obtained with no external heat supplier, generating the required temperature increase by means of a revolving pin that follows a proper trajectory partially sunk in the workpiece surface. As for today, although first examples of industrial application can be found in the aeronautical and aerospace fields, the…
