Cold forming processes comprise techniques in which metal tubes are plastically deformed at ambient temperature to refine dimensional tolerances, enhance surface integrity and improve mechanical ...

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 ...

The four participants in a critical micro/miniature cold value chain include the component manufacturer, the material supplier, the tooling provider, and the machinery manufacturer. Each can provide ...

New product development (NPD) teams are constantly searching for a competitive advantage that will allow them to create electronic devices that are smaller, appliances that are more reliable, vehicles ...

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 ...

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 ...
