Sheet metal forming encompasses a suite of manufacturing techniques—such as deep drawing, stamping, hydroforming, bending and stretch forming—that transform flat metal blanks into complex ...

Hydraulic forming is a technology that uses high fluid pressure to shape sheet metal or tubes into the desired geometry. Instead of a second rigid tool, a fluid acts as the force-transmitting medium.

Incremental forming techniques have emerged as flexible and cost-effective alternatives to traditional stamping and die-based methods in the production of sheet metal components. Unlike conventional ...

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 ...

Researchers from AIST have developed a new rolling process for improving room-temperature formability of a damping magnesium alloy (M1 alloy). In the new rolling process, while a conventional rolling ...
