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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Orbital forming is a process that uses an angled forming tool (peen) that spins off center at a 3 to 6° angle to securely fasten an assembly. The tool progressively heads, swages, crowns, flares, or ...

Forming complex shapes in metal sheets is still a laborious process, especially if you aren’t needing more than a couple parts so stamping doesn’t make sense. That may change with Digital Sheet ...
