Lightweight materials, such as titanium alloys, magnesium alloys, and aluminium alloys, are
characterised by unusual combinations of high strength, corrosion resistance, and low …

The stress state of the sheet has a significant influence on the formability during the sheet
metal forming process. Some research has shown that the through-thickness shear stress on …

A promising technique for manufacturing low-thickness workpieces with complicated
geometries is Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF). Due to its dieless process, ISF is a proper …

Over the past two decades, incremental sheet forming (ISF) has advanced the development
of flexible sheet metal forming, especially for small-to-medium volume and customized …

In incremental sheet forming higher limiting strain can be achieved compared to the
conventional sheet metal forming process, which results in increased formability. The higher …

An innovative processing technology called pulsed current assisted-laser impact micro-
forming was proposed to further improve the forming quality of microparts under a high strain …

Abstract Properties and service performance of parts and components depend upon
microstructural characteristics including grain morphology, size and size distribution, and …

In this study, heterogeneous carbon nanotubes reinforced 2009Al (CNT/2009Al) composites
composed of CNT-free ductile zones (DZs) and CNT-rich brittle zones were prepared by …

Micro-forming is an emerging micro-manufacturing process for the fabrication of miniature
parts/components made of ultra-thin sheets (foils), forged billets, rods, etc. Achieving high …

It has been a challenge to efficiently make titanium alloy thin-walled components by sheet
metal forming. Incremental sheet forming (ISF) method provides a promising way to increase …
