Friction behaviour in sheet metal forming encompasses the interaction between the deforming sheet and tool surfaces, critically influencing material flow, tool wear, energy consumption and final ...

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 ...

Alternative higher strength steels can be developed by post-forming heat treatment. Retaining the geometry of components during and subsequent to the heat treatment process is a key barrier for the ...
