Stretch forming is a sheet metal forming process where a sheet blank is clamped at the edges and formed using a rigid punch. There are several types of stretch forming including simple, tangential, Cyril-Bath, and multi-sided stretch forming. Tangential stretch forming applies a tensile stress before forming for more uniform deformation. The Cyril-Bath process uses grips that move horizontally and vertically to form parts in a press. Multi-sided stretch forming clamps the blank on all sides for complex geometries. Stretch forming is used to produce large, flat parts with low tooling costs.
Forging is the operation where the metal is heated and then a force is applied to manipulates the metals in such a way that the required final shape is obtained.

The present work aims to investigate the distribution of strains in incremental sheet
metal forming process using different geometries. Four shapes were used to develop the
strain paths: truncated cone, pyramid, dome, and circular generatrix are formed in
incremental sheet forming process. The difference in strain paths depends on the
difference in the geometric shapes of the formed parts. Circle grid analysis was used to
obtain strain paths along the parts. Strains distribution was evaluated by circular grid
system (CGS) where a pattern of a small circle was electrochemically etched on the sheet.
The sheet is deformed during forming and the deformation of the circle is measured and
analyzed to explore the behavior of strains distribution in incremental sheet metal
forming. The curvature of the part is a large or plane wall the strain mode is plane strain
stretching and became biaxial stretching or uniaxial tension with the rotational symmetric
surfaces.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. INTRODUCTION TO STRETCH
FORMING
Stretch forming is the forming of a sheet blank
with a rigid(one-piece) punch, whereby the blank
is rigidly clamped at the edges.
The blank can be clamped between rigid
tools,corresponding to the upper and lower
drawing frames of the
conventional tools, or be clamped in
gripping jaws.
3. Field of application:
Mainly for production of relatively flat parts of large dimensions
as single pieces, prototypes or for small series.
Process types: -
Simple stretch forming
Tangential stretch forming
Stretch forming according to Cyril-Bath
Multi-sided stretch forming
4. SIMPLE STRETCH FORMING
For the simple stretch forming process, the sheet
sample which has to be formed, is clamped
between two gripping jaws located on opposite
ends.
The forming tool or block is fixed on to a tool
table which can be moved hydraulically in a
vertical direction. The forces necessary for the
forming are transferred through the form block to
the sheet sample.
5.
6. The part to be formed receives its contours during the
motion of the forming block, the gripping jaws
remaining stationary.
Due to the large area of contact between form block
and the blank, the frictional forces prevent a
deformation of the sheet in this region.
Due to the frictional forces acting between form block
and blank, the middle regions hardly undergo any
deformation, i.e., the maximum possible straining
capacity of the sheet is not attained.
7. The sheet material flows under the tensile stress
only out of the sheet thickness, so that the surface
of the sheet expands.
Examples for Simple Stretch Forming -
Wing parts for the air plane industry can be made
by simple stretch forming, starting from
trapezoidal blanks.
8.
9. TANGENTIAL STRETCH FORMING
The main difference to the simple stretch forming is that
both the form block as well as the gripping jaws are
movable. Using this process, it is possible to subject the
blank to a plastic pre-strain prior to the actual forming, so
that the whole cross-section of the material undergoes a
uniform plastic deformation.
10. The process can be divided into two steps:
In the first step, the blank is gripped by two jaws arranged
opposite to each other. The jaws then move horizontally
away from each other and create a uniform plastic strain in
the whole cross-section of the blank.
In the second step, the form giving block is moved vertically
towards the sheet blank. The gripping jaws tilt and orient
themselves in the direction of the tensile stressing of the
blank, so that the blank, still under the constant tensile
stress required for the plastic deformation, is draped
tangentially over the form block.
11.
12. Another advantage is that the application of an overlaid
tensile stress to the work-piece during deformation
reduces the residual stress. The reduction of residual
stress leads to lower spring back than in the case of
simple stretch forming so that the form accuracy is
higher and accompanied by a higher blister strength of
the sheet part.
Use of Tangential Stretch Forming
The tangential stretch forming machines are used to
fabricate roofing arches for train coaches, door frames
and planking for busses, planking parts for the
aerospace industry and for the outer covering sheets
for cars.
13.
14. The Cyril-Bath Process
Based on the principle of tangential stretch forming,
the Cyril-Bath company has developed a process which
makes it possible to apply tangential stretch forming
in a mechanical or hydraulic drawing press. The Cyril-
Bath process is used to fabricate large, relatively
plane sheet shapes in small and large series, e.g. car
bonnets (hoods).
The process can be classified as a combination of
stretch forming and deep drawing operations. It was
the Cyril-Bath process, also called the stretch-draw
process, which made it possible to introduce stretch
forming for the mass-production of body parts.
15.
16.
17. The system consists of two gripping jaws arranged opposite to
each other and which can be moved horizontally and vertically.
These are mounted between the stands of a simple hydraulic
press. A form block is mounted on the table of the press between
the gripping jaws. The counter pressing equipment is mounted
on the ramming punch of the press.
18. Operational Steps of the Cyril-Bath Process
The whole process is conducted in following steps.
The sheet blank is clamped between two gripping jaws located opposite to each
other. The grips are moved away from each other stressing the blank, without
touching the form block, to an elongation of e = 2 % up to 4 %.
Without reducing this applied stress, the gripping jaws are moved downwards so
that the blank is wrapped around the form block to produce the convex contour.
The ramming punch is now moved downwards to produce the counter pressure
required for forming the concave contours. In order to prevent tearing in the over-
stressed regions of the concave contours, the gripping jaws are moved horizontally
and vertically in well-defined and controlled steps during the downward motion of
the counter pressing punch.
The punch is moved back to its original starting position
.
The gripping jaws are opened and also moved to their original starting position,
enabling the shaped part to be removed.
19. Multi axial Stretch Forming
The aim of this development was to use
the advantages of both these
processes(The Cyril-Bath process and of
the tangential stretch forming Process)
and, at the same time, to eliminate the
disadvantage of the two-sided stressing
by arranging gripping jaws all around the
form block. In order to achieve these
goals, the requirements listed in the
overhead were set up:
20.
21. The process steps involved in the forming of shaped sheet parts with a
flexible segmented stretch forming machine, are as follows:
The sheet blank is fixed to the leading edge of the gripping jaws. The
gripping segments are then moved towards each other so that the blank
can be clamped in all four gripping jaws. The gripping segments then
move apart, thereby pre straining the blank.
The vertical and horizontal movements are coordinated, making it
possible to trace a curved path with which the blank can be drawn over
the form block.
22.
23. The determination and programming of the path to be traced is decisive
for both the forming operation as well as for the accuracy with which the
contours can be replicated.
Each stressing segment can thus be programmed to describe its own
individual path. This can be achieved either by linear movements or by
simple curves traced by applying small discreet movements directly to the
supports.
For form blocks with complicated geometries, the travel paths must be
manually predetermined using the part drawing as a basis. The fine
adjustment is then carried out experimentally, using an iterative method.
The basic module consists of a gripping jaw which can be moved
horizontally or
vertically by means of a hydraulic cylinder. The gripping jaws can move
200 mm
horizontally and 250 mm vertically. A further hydraulic cylinder activates
the toggle lever sheet gripping jaws, whereby the gripping width is 250
mm. The total
constructional height of a module is 1,223 mm with a constructional
length of 820 mm.
24. The arrangement of the segments of a four-sided stretch forming machine with a
hemispherical punch. Each of the four gripping segments can be operated
individually, i.e., each grip can be positioned and controlled independently.
25. Advantages:
Stretch forming is widespread in the aerospace industry. It allows
the manufacture of large parts, most often made of Aluminum, with
lower tooling costs than the regular drawing tools due to less run.
On the workpiece:
very low and homogeneous residual stresses,
greatly reduced spring back,
machining and assembly operations without deformation since no
fiber are compressed.
increased hardness by about 2 %,
forming of sheets, bars and rolled or extruded sections,
final normalized metallurgical state of the product after completion
of the various forming and heat treatment phases
26. On the press and the tool:
easy and fast tools changeover,
finished product matching the shape of the tool,
low cost forming (1 tool instead of 1 die + 1 punch) : about one-third
of conventional tools,
27. Disadvantages:
A disadvantage of stretch forming is that the middle regions
of the sheet are not sufficiently formed, so that the strain
distribution in the sheet cross section is not uniform. This
leads on the one hand to a spring back and consequently a
loss in dimensional accuracy and on the other hand to
insufficient work hardening
