TALAT lecture 3300: fundamentals of metal forming

This lecture gives a brief review of the fundamental terms and laws governing metal forming at room temperature as well as at high temperatures. It is provided as a pdf document.

It looks at the terms for classifying forming processes and the characteristic values and basic laws of metal forming including flow stress, plastic strain, plastic flow under combined stresses, flow curves, average flow stress and energy considerations. This lecture is a necessary prerequisite to understand the more specific treatment of metal forming subjects such as forging, impact extrusion and sheet metal forming in the subsequent TALAT lectures 3401 to 3805.

A general background in production engineering and machine tools is assumed.
