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 ...

Precision metalforming processes involve complex and strong interactions between the workpiece (material and shape) and forming equipment, as well as lubrication, temperature, and other manufacturing ...

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 ...
