In modelling metal forming processes, whether analytically or with the help of numerical approaches, e.g. the finite element method (FEM), the input data determines the results. Therefore, a lot of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Here’s a quick overview of different PM processes that can be found at Metal Powder Industries Federation's site, www.mpif.org (select Intro to PM and then processes). For an in-depth discussion of ...

Electromagnetic forming is a high-speed metalworking process that employs pulsed magnetic fields to induce eddy currents in conductive sheets, generating Lorentz forces that plastically deform the ...

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 ...

Plate forming services cut, roll, form, and weld metal plates that are typically thicker than 3/16 in. They provide finished products by cutting, punching, bending, shaping or welding pre-fabricated ...
