Metal Forming Practise

The book "Metal Forming Practice" is a comprehensive resource that deals with the latest technologies in the field of metal forming. It is the translation of the eighth revised edition of "Umformtechnik" from German. The work is divided into three parts: The first part covers forming and cutting processes, explaining the essential features of these methods as well as the necessary tools and areas of application. Practical examples illustrate the calculation of the forces and deformation energy involved. The second part focuses on forming machines and their parameters, including flexible manufacturing systems and automation solutions. The third part provides tables and flowcharts for calculating forming forces and deformation energy. The book is aimed at both engineers in production and students who can use it as a reference work.
