Item Model for the Prediction of Deformations in the Manufacture of Thin-Walled Parts by Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing Technology(2021-04-21) Casuso, Mikel; Veiga, Fernando; Suárez, Alfredo; Bhujangrao, Trunal; Aldalur, Eider; Artaza, Teresa; Amondarain, Jaime; Lamikiz, Aitzol; FABRIC_INTEL; Tecnalia Research & InnovationGas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is a manufacturing technology included within the differentWire Arc Additive Manufacturing alternatives. These technologies have been generating great attention among scientists in recent decades. Its main qualities that make it highly productive with a large use of material with relatively inexpensive machine solutions make it a very advantageous technology. This paper covers the application of this technology for the manufacture of thin-walled parts. A finite element model is presented for estimating the deformations in this type of parts. This paper presents a simulation model that predicts temperatures with less than 5% error and deformations of the final part that, although quantitatively has errors of 20%, qualitatively allows to know the deformation modes of the part. Knowing the part areas subject to greater deformation may allow the future adaptation of deposition strategies or redesigns for their adaptation. These models are very useful both at a scientific and industrial level since when we find ourselves with a technology oriented to Near Net Shape (NNS) manufacturing where deformations are critical for obtaining the final part in a quality regime.Item Theoretical and experimental analysis of the dieless incremental sheet forming process(2006-07-03) Cerro, I.; Maidagan, E.; Arana, J.; Rivero, A.; Rodríguez, P. P.; Centros PRE-FUSION TECNALIA - (FORMER); Tecnalia Research & Innovation; SGIncremental sheet forming (ISF) is a very promising technology to manufacture sheet metal products by the CNC controlled movement of a simple forming tool. Although it is a slow process, the cost reduction linked to the fact that punches or dies are avoided, makes it a very suitable process for low series production, in comparison with the traditional stamping or drawing processes. Nevertheless, the process still needs a further optimization to guarantee the reliability required for industrial applications. Process analysis based on experimental tests and modelling is required to analyse the effect of process parameters on the characteristics of incrementally formed parts and to go deeper in the understanding of the process itself. Therefore, this paper shows preliminary results obtained with experimental tests and a simple FEM model which gives accurate prediction of some characteristics of the formed parts.
