In recent years the use of tailor-welded blanks (TWB) has grown significantly, but there still exists serious concern on the poor formability in the stamping of TWB, which is commonly considered to ...

Sheet metal forming operations can vary greatly in their processes. From simple bending to stretching to deep drawing of complex parts, sheet metal forming operations may take many forms. Image Credit ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The effects of strain path on formability and microstructural evolution with strain in two low-carbon steels were examined. The steels include ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

Evology is an ITAR-registered full-service contract manufacturer with 30+ years of experience using traditional and additive manufacturing to serve some of the most innovative product companies in the ...

Forming sheet metal is one of the most critical processes in fabricating and manufacturing parts and components. In sheet metal forming, metals are reshaped in their solid state while they are still ...

Forming complex shapes in metal sheets is still a laborious process, especially if you aren’t needing more than a couple parts so stamping doesn’t make sense. That may change with Digital Sheet ...

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 ...
