Ultrasonic vibration-assisted metal forming combines high-frequency, low-amplitude oscillations with conventional forming processes to enhance material flow, reduce forming forces and improve surface ...

Cold forming processes comprise techniques in which metal tubes are plastically deformed at ambient temperature to refine dimensional tolerances, enhance surface integrity and improve mechanical ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

Here’s a quick overview of different PM processes that can be found at Metal Powder Industries Federation's site, www.mpif.org (select Intro to PM and then processes). For an in-depth discussion of ...

There is a high chance that specific shapes and mechanical properties are required when sourcing an alloy product for an industrial, medical, or consumer application. This is where cold working ...
