This comprehensive reference for product and production engineers provides state-of-the-art coverage on the metal fabrication technologies of shearing, blanking, piercing, bending, stretch forming, drawing, spinning, and other forming processes.

This Volume provides you with answers on the many types of forming processes, selection of equipment and die materials, specification of forming practices for specific alloys, and new techniques for process design and control.

The major focus is on the forming of sheet product with additional coverage on forming with bar, tube, wire, shapes, or long parts. New content covers important developments in the areas of:
• New process related developments in superplastic forming of aluminum sheet
• Application of tailor weld blanks in automotive sheet forms
• Recent process modifications in hydroforming and high-velocity metal forming
• Rapid prototyping
• Die-less flexible manufacturing techniques such as thermal forming and peen forming
• Material related developments in the application of advanced high-strength steels
• Conventional and superplastic forming of titanium, nickel-base, and refractory alloys
• Continued advancement of computer-based methods for process simulation and control
