Metal forming encompasses a suite of processes—including rolling, extrusion, forging, drawing, spinning and flow forming—that impart shape, dimensional precision and tailored microstructure to ...

In the production of metal wheels using the flow-forming process, it is necessary to check the thickness distribution on the ...

Friction behaviour in sheet metal forming encompasses the interaction between the deforming sheet and tool surfaces, critically influencing material flow, tool wear, energy consumption and final ...

Forming complex shapes in metal sheets is still a laborious process, especially if you aren’t needing more than a couple parts so stamping doesn’t make sense. That may change with Digital Sheet ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

I've had a 1968 Charger since 1984, and I'd like to reproduce most of the exterior sheetmetal in aluminum, including the bumpers. My plan is to cut aluminum panels to size, hold them to the centerline ...

There is a high chance that specific shapes and mechanical properties are required when sourcing an alloy product for an industrial, medical, or consumer application. This is where cold working ...

What causes failure in dies and tooling? It’s a function of tool material selection, one expert advised. Metal forming is critical to industrial operations supplying automotive parts and structural ...
