17: Introduction to Deformation Processes

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

www.doitpoms.ac.uk/tlplib/me...ng-2/index.php

Learning Objectives

  • Be aware of major deformation processes and the ways in which they are used to form metallic objects:
    • Rolling
    • Extrusion
    • Forging
    • Drawing
  • Appreciate the advantages and disadvantages of each.
  • Understand the reasons for selecting a process for a particular shape of end product.

Before you start

A basic understanding of plastic deformation (including work hardening) is assumed and can be found in the Introduction to Mechanical Testing TLP.
