Study Notes

Metal Forming and Sheet Metalworking

  • Metal forming encompasses a large group of manufacturing processes.
  • These processes use plastic deformation to alter the shape of metal workpieces.
  • Key factors affecting metal forming include applied stresses, material properties (like the effects of temperature, strain rate, and sensitivity), and friction and lubrication.

Chapter Contents

  • Chapter 18: Provides an overview of metal forming, including material behavior, temperature effects, strain rate sensitivity, and friction/lubrication.
  • Chapter 19: Focuses on bulk deformation processes, specifically:
    • Rolling (flat and shape rolling, analysis, and types of mills)
    • Other deformation processes related to rolling.
    • Forging (open-die, impression-die, flashless, and associated tools/presses)
    • Extrusion (types, analysis, dies, and presses)
    • Wire and bar drawing (analysis, drawing practice, and tube drawing)

Fundamentals of Metal Forming

  • Material Behavior:

    • Flow stress is the instantaneous value of stress needed for continued metal deformation.
    • Average flow stress = Kεn / (1 + n) (Where K = strength coefficient, n = strain-hardening exponent, ε = true strain)

  • Temperature:

    • Cold working is performed at or slightly above room temperature.
    • Warm working is performed at 0.3 Tm.
    • Hot working involves temperatures typically between 0.5-0.75 Tm. (where Tm=melting point)

  • Strain Rate Sensitivity: The rate at which metal is strained is directly related to the speed of deformation (v).

  • Friction and Lubrication:

    • Friction in metal forming is undesirable as it hinders metal flow and causes increased forces, requiring power.
    • Lubricants reduce the harmful effects of friction and improve surface finish.

  • Bulk Deformation Processes:

    • Rolling, Forging, Extrusion, Wire Drawing

  • Sheet Metal Working Processes:

    • Bending, Drawing, Shearing (Punching and Cutting)

Bulk Deformation Processes

  • Rolling: A process for reducing the thickness of a slab or plate using opposing cylindrical rolls. Hot rolling is common. Rolling mills are the equipment used for this process.
  • Forging: A process where a workpiece is compressed between dies, using either impact or gradual pressure.
    • Types: Open-die forging, Impression-die forging, Flashless forging (avoiding excess material)
  • Extrusion: Pushing metal through a die to create a desired cross-section
    • Types: Direct extrusion, Indirect extrusion, Cold extrusion, Warm extrusion, Hot extrusion
  • Wire Drawing: Reducing the diameter of a round wire or bar by pulling it through a die.

Chapter Contents (continued)

  • Additional chapters cover detailed analysis (e.g., of rolling, forging, extrusion; and more on factors involved) including formulas and diagrams of different processes and types.

Homework Examples

  • Provided homework problems showcase the application of the concepts learned in the lecture material on various metalworking processes. These problems require applying formulas to calculate different parameters.
