Abstract
Forming operations can be grouped into two broad categories, namely,
-
(i)
Techniques derived from thermoplastics forming processes, and
-
(ii)
Techniques adapted from conventional metal working procedures.
The processes and procedures may also be classified as (a) macro-forming (bulk changes in shape) and micro-forming, or (b) bulk and sheet metal forming. Detailed descriptions of each of the processes, and their analyses based on mechanics, are presented first. This is followed by a summary of the industrial applications.
