Abstract
The aim of the current work was to analyse the influence of the process parameters (tool diameter, size of the vertical step of tool, feed rate and spindle speed) on the quality of the processed surface, expressed in terms of roughness and macrostructure in the case of parts processed by single point incremental forming. The analysis was made on A1050 aluminium metal sheets. The obtained results revealed that the process parameters influence differently the surface quality, the worst influence being exerted by the increase of the vertical step of tool.
