Efficient processes
offer a promising approach to meet requirements from global trends like
sustainability or resource shortage. The process of orbital forming is established
for the manufacturing of functional components with a gradient in sheet
thickness, like for example in a clutch. Nevertheless, the present tool setup
disposes a lack in economic efficiency and is restricted by a maximum tumbling
angle and a complex tool design. In this context, an innovative
quasi-incremental process combination of tilting and turning is investigated
with regard to the manufacturability of functional components with
circumferential and cyclic symmetric elements. Due to the adapted kinematics,
the contact area between tool and workpiece increases from the center in radial
direction, resulting in a predominantly radial material flow. The aim within
this research is the establishment of a comprehensive process understanding of
the forming parameters. Therefore, components out of the case-hardening steel
C10 are manufactured and evaluated, regarding the geometrical and mechanical
properties. Different process strategies, like a varying number of tilting steps
or the forming along different axis, are applied in order to improve the
forming results. The potential of the alternative tool setup for the
manufacturing of the components is qualified by comparing the parts with
conventionally orbital formed specimens.
