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 ...

Cross wedge rolling (CWR) is an advanced metal forming process that employs a series of wedged tools to plastically deform a workpiece into near-net shape components. This process has become ...

Understand the basic science of TPC stamp forming, a manufacturing process steadily gaining momentum in aerospace and mobility applications thanks to its rapid forming, short cycle times and automated ...

Orbital forming is a process that uses an angled forming tool (peen) that spins off center at a 3 to 6° angle to securely fasten an assembly. The tool progressively heads, swages, crowns, flares, or ...

Short cycle times and automated methods are key to meeting the high production rates being sought for the next generation of narrowbody commercial aircraft, advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned ...
