However, it is known the difficulty to deform Ti-6Al-4V sheets at room temperature because of its microstructure conditions. The present work focuses on the evaluation of formability of Ti-6Al-4V sheets using hot single point incremental forming (SPIF) process which it seems appropriate to produce small batches of parts due to its flexibility as it allows a significant reduction of costs and lead times. In order to characterize the SPIF of Ti-6Al-4V under hot forming conditions, a set of forming trials evaluation tests was carried out. The obtained results have allowed identifying the key process features and have demonstrated the potential of the proposed approach to hot form of small amounts of Ti-6Al-4V parts.95194359enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessconference output10.4028/www.scientific.net/KEM.611-612.1079FormabilityGlobal HeatingIncremental FormingTi6Al4VFormabilityGlobal HeatingIncremental FormingTi6Al4VTi-6Al-4VGeneral Materials ScienceMechanics of MaterialsMechanical EngineeringProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/266208/EU/Innovative Manufacturing of complex Ti sheet components/INMAinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/266208/EU/Innovative Manufacturing of complex Ti sheet components/INMAFunding InfoResearch leading to these results was done within the project INMA – Innovative manufacturing_x000D_ of complex titanium sheet components.
