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 ...

Ultrasonic vibration-assisted metal forming combines high-frequency, low-amplitude oscillations with conventional forming processes to enhance material flow, reduce forming forces and improve surface ...

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 ...

Short cycle times and automated methods are key to meeting the high production rates being sought for the next generation of narrowbody commercial aircraft, advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned ...
