Experimental work is performed using a flame torch integrated with a 2-axis CNC workstation. The ABAQUS implicit solver is used in the numerical simulation. Three different strategies of the spiral irradiating scheme are investigated for the flame forming of a bowl shaped surface. The first strategy is the Simple spi- ral irradiating scheme, the second is the Rotational spiral irradiating scheme, and the third is the Symmetrical-Rotational spiral irradiating scheme. The results show that using the Symmetrical- Rotational spiral irradiating scheme, a bowl shaped surface with the maximum deformation can be produced, followed by using the Rotational scheme, and the Simple spiral scheme. It is also concluded from the results that the spiral irradiating scheme with Symmetrical-Rotational, Rota- tional and Simple spiral schemes lead to the maximum symmetries in the produced bowl shaped surface, respectively. All the numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental ob- servations.展开更多
