Metal Forming Practise

The textbook "Metal Forming Practice" offers a comprehensive introduction to the latest technologies in the field of metal forming. It is based on the revised German edition "Umformtechnik" and is divided into three main parts. The first part covers forming and cutting processes, explaining the necessary tools and their areas of application. Practical examples illustrate the calculation of the forces and deformation energy involved. The second part presents various forming machines and calculates their parameters. Additionally, it addresses flexible manufacturing systems and the necessary handling systems for automation. The third part includes tables and flowcharts for calculating forming forces and deformation energy. The book is aimed at both practicing engineers and students who can use it as a reference work.
