Publisher's Synopsis
Major emphasis is on the latest developments in the design of metal-forming operations and tooling. The fundamentals of plastic deformation are discussed, as are significant practical variables of metal-forming processes. Examines approximate methods of analysing simple forming operations, then looks at massive forming processes.
Contents include:
- Classification and description of metal forming processes
- Plastic deformation
- Friction in metal forming
- Temperatures in metal forming
- Principles of forming machines
- Methods of analysis
- CAD/CAM applications
- Die materials and die manufacture
- Application of finite-element modeling to metal forming
