Abstract

This article upholds the possibility of forming an aeronautical component made of Inconel 718 sheet by means of Incremental Sheet Forming and without using a forming press. The research work presented aims to validate the operation of the hydrostatic ball burnishing as a strategy to improve the surface quality of an aeronautical component of Inconel 718, previously shaped by Asymetric Incremetal Sheet Forming (AISF). The combination of both processes, burnishing on AISF, has a very high level of innovation and is a pioneer in its application on an industrial component made of this high performance nickel-chromium alloy. The surface quality of the incrementally shaped component has been studied to subsequently apply a burnishing by means of the hydrostatic ball. The results obtained confirm the feasibility of the proposed strategy, with a reduction in roughness ranges between 20 and 65 %, depending on the area treated.
