EFFECTS OF ANDROFORMING ON MATERIAL PROPERTIES
Abstract
This investigation encompasses the statistical deviation of the Model J Androform mac ine's forming parameters, the correlation of machine settings to produce specific contours, and the effects of Androforming on material properties. Current work performed in developing contoured Stage I forming elements is covered. These elements were required to increase the forming capabilities of the machine. Cast Kirksite was found most suitable under wear and endurance characteristics. A set of 800 in. radius Stage I elements was made from Kirksite for forming .040 gage Al sheets in widths to 72 in. Maximum compound contours were formed from 36-, 48-, and 72-in. width material by using the temporary Stage I element with existing Stage II and Stage III forming elements. The forming limits thus established, were considerably greater than those obtained with straight Stage I elements. (Author)
