Short summary
The paper highlights the importance of process parameters in the electromagnetic sheet metal forming process. Aluminium alloy I(Al6061T6) sheets with varying thicknesses were deformed by varying current, voltage and number of turns of the coil. A numerical model was also developed to predict the behaviour of the sheet under different processing conditions. The simulation and experimental results were in good agreement.
