Metal forming

This book offers engineers a comprehensive understanding of metal forming principles, detailing both the mechanics of forming processes and the interaction between metal properties and these processes. It begins with fundamentals of mechanics and materials, then progresses to analyses of bulk forming operations like drawing, extrusion, and rolling. The final section covers sheet forming processes, including new chapters on forming limit diagrams, stamping techniques, and hydroforming of tubes, alongside expanded coverage of sheet metal properties and aluminum alloys.
