Fig. 9. Fracture strains in SPIF and Stretch-bending for a tool diameter of 10mm. Two interesting results can be pointed out from Fig. 9. On the one hand, it can be seen that the fracture strains in the Stretch-bending tests with cylindrical punch of 10 mm diameter are quite similar to that obtained with Nakazima tests (FFL), and only in some cases placed slightly above this fracture limit. This denotes a relatively insensitivity of fracture strains with the bending effect for this material, in which failure is mainly controlled by the maximum shear stresses, as discussed in Vallellano et al. (2008). On the other hand, it has been found that fracture strains in SPIF are clearly above both the FFL and as well above the fracture strains in Stretch-bending. This seems to indicate that the enhancement on formability obtained with SPIF might not be only explained via the effect of bending induced by the tool radius. Other parameters such as shear stresses, the contact stresses, the cyclic straining and the hydrostatic stresses Emmens and den Boogaard (2009) may be affecting the overall spifability of the AA2024-T3. The analysis of these parameters inpidually would require a detailed experimental and numerical study to characterize the effect of each one of these variables independently. 4. Conclusions This paper analysed experimentally the formability of AA2024-T3 metal sheets under different forming processes: stretching, Stretch-bending and single point incremental forming. The conventional formability limits were correctly set from a series of normalized Nakazima tests by using different specimen geometries. The feasibility of these conventional forming limits, and especially the fracture forming curve, was put to the test by evaluating the failure strains of stretch-bending and SPIF experiments carried out using tool of relative small diameters. The results seem to show that the bending effect, controlled by the t0/R ratio, might not be enough to explain the enhanced formability registered in SPIF. In this sense, other parameters should were pointed out to have an influence in the phenomenon captured in relation with the spifability of this low-ductility aluminium alloy. In any case, the authors would propose a more insistent experimental plan in order to further analyze this phenomenon, their causes and to fully confirm its experimental occurrence.
