Study Notes
Metal Forming
- The main objective of metal forming is to give a desired shape to a metal without changing its mass or composition.
Deformation Types
- Plastic deformation: permanent change in shape and size of a metal under stress, does not return to original shape after removal of stress.
- Elastic deformation: temporary change in shape and size of a metal under stress, returns to original shape after removal of stress.
Successful Forming Operation
- A metal must possess ductility, malleability, and sufficient strength for a successful forming operation.
Shaping vs. Forming
- Shaping: refers to the process of generating a specific shape or profile on a metal surface.
- Forming: refers to the process of changing the shape or size of a metal without breaking or cracking it.
Metal Properties
- The ability to change the shape of metal in a solid state without deterioration of metal properties is called formability.
