About this book
Briefly reviews the basic principles of metal forming but major emphasis is on the latest developments in the design of metal-forming operations and tooling. Discusses the position of metal forming in manufacturing and considers a metal-forming process as a system consisting of several interacting variables. Includes an overall review and classification of all metal-forming processes. The fundamentals of plastic deformation - metal flow flow stress of metals and yield criteria - are discussed as are significant practical variables of metal- forming processes such as friction temperatures and forming machines and their characteristics. Examines approximate methods of analyzing simple forming operations then looks at massive forming processes such as closed-die forging hot extrusion cold forging/ extrusion rolling and drawing (discussion includes the prediction of stresses and load in each process and applications of computer-aided techniques). Recent developments in metal-forming technology including CAD/CAM for die design and manufacture are discussed and a review of the latest trends in metal flow analysis and simulations.
