Friction behaviour in sheet metal forming encompasses the interaction between the deforming sheet and tool surfaces, critically influencing material flow, tool wear, energy consumption and final ...

Every year, it seems roll forming manufacturers are being asked to improve turnaround, speed up roll forming capabilities, using heavier and high-strength materials while still focusing on safety. No ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
