ncremental sheet metal forming (ISF) is a suitable process for the production of small batch sizes. Due to the minor tooling effort and low forming forces, ISF enables the production of large components with inexpensive and light machine set-ups. Hence, ISF is an interesting manufacturing technique for aeronautical applications. Sheet metal parts in aircrafts are often made of titanium and its alloys like the high strength alloy Ti Grade5 (Ti6Al4V). The characteristic low formability of Ti6Al4V at room temperature requires forming operations on this material to be carried out at the elevated temperatures. The interaction of heating and deformation cycles results in a microstructure evolution, which is believed to have a high impact on formability and product quality. In the present work, the temperature-dependent microstructural evolution of the as-deformed parts was investigated. Longitudinal pockets with different depths were formed using a laser-assisted ISF process. The microstructural evolution and hardening of the material were analyzed with respect to the local strain in different forming depths and pocket zones. The formability of the material together with the deformation depth and the sheet thickness-reduction were found to be strongly dependent on the applied process temperatures and the activated deformation mechanisms like dislocation glide and dynamic recrystallization. |
