EFFECTS OF ANDROFORMING ON MATERIAL PROPERTIES.
Abstract
The sheet metal forming parameters of the Model J Androform machine were established for various aluminum, stainless steel and titanium alloys in gages of 0.010 to 0.375 inches. Nomographs were derived for selecting parts that can be Androformed and for determining the machine settings required to form the part. Forming limits established for the various materials showed the machine to be limited to parts having relatively shallow contours. Mechanical property tests, in nearly all cases, showed that Androforming strengthened the material through cold working, with a slight decrease in ductility. in general, the Androform operation had minor effect on the material properties.
