Abstract

Using lightweight materials in vehicle manufacturing in order to reduce energy consumption is one of the most effective approach to decrease pollutant emissions. As a lightweight material, magnesium is increasingly employed in automotive parts. However, because of its hexagonal closed-packed(HCP) crystal structure, in which only the basal plane can move, the magnesium alloy sheets show low ductility and formability at room temperature. Thus the press forming of magnesium alloy sheets has been performed at elevated temperature within range of $200^{\circ}C{\sim}250^{\circ}C$. Here we try the possibility of sheet metal forming at room temperature by adopting incremental forming technique with rotating tool, which is so called as rotational-incremental sheet forming(RISF). In this rotational-incremental sheet forming the spindle tool rotates on the surface of the sheet metal and moves incrementally with small pitch to fit the sheet metal on the desired shape. There are various variables defining the formability of sheet metals in the incremental forming such as speed of spindle, pitch size, lubricants, etc. In this study, we clarified the effects of spindle speed and pitch size upon formability of magnesium alloy sheets at room temperature. In case of 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4mm of pitch size with hemispherical rotating tool of 6.0mm radius, the maximum temperature at contact area between rotating tool and sheet metal were $119.2^{\circ}C,\;130.8^{\circ}C,\;and\;177.3^{\circ}C$. Also in case of 300, 500, and 700rpm of spindle speed, the maximum temperature at the contact area were $109.7^{\circ}C,\;130.8^{\circ}C\;and\;189.8^{\circ}C$.
