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 ...

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 ...

Orbital forming is a process that uses an angled forming tool (peen) that spins off center at a 3 to 6° angle to securely fasten an assembly. The tool progressively heads, swages, crowns, flares, or ...

The high volume of toy bears needed would be best made through a forming process. A mold with the design of a bear would be filled with liquid plastic, rubbery material. Once cooled, the mold is ...

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 ...
