Cross wedge rolling (CWR) is an advanced metal forming process that employs a series of wedged tools to plastically deform a workpiece into near-net shape components. This process has become ...

Partnering with a metal forming professional provides aerospace manufacturers with the specialized equipment and expertise required to customize the process. Within Canadian aerospace manufacturing, a ...

Kobe Steel Ltd. says it has created the world's strongest aluminum alloy, with a tensile strength of 780 MPa, using a proprietary spray forming process. Sample bars of 10 mm in diameter and 100 mm in ...

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 ...

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 ...
