Introduction to the Mechanics of Plastic Forming of Metals
Author: W. Szczepinski
Publisher: Springer
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
The plastic forming of metals is a branch of technology, in which great progress has been achieved mainly by collecting practical data resulting from long-time experience. The contribution of theoretical analysis to this progress is not significant. The common argument was, that such an analysis is too difficult and often even impossible. However, the constantly increasing significance of coldwork processing in industrial practice and the progress in the automatic control of these processes, demanding a broad knowledge of the influence of various parameters, and also the need to improve the mechanical behaviour of coldworked elements have proved beyond doubt that better understanding of the theory of plastic forming processes is necessary. This general trend has become evident in several recent publications in recent years, even though these represent only the engineering, approximate approach to theoretical analysis. Recent significant progress in the mathematical theory of plasticity allows to build an analysis of plastic forming processes on a more sound basis. In particular there have been developed graphical methods by means of which slip-line and hodograph meshes are constructed for plane strain and axially symmetric problems. These graphical methods yield not only the required forces but also the. mode of plastic deformation, even for very complex problems. Numerical procedures also give good results if the digital computer technique is employed.

Thermoforming
Author: Geza Gruenwald
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781566766258
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
FROM THE FOREWORD Dr. Gruenwald has indicated the desirable properties of polymerics for differing applications; thus, his text is especially useful for polymer chemists who must "tailor" plastic materials for specific groups of applications. Engineers in extruding and calendering film and sheet will benefit from the intimate relationships elucidated between processing parameters imposed upon stocks employed in thermoforming and the products thereof. Mold designers are provided with a complete guide that will enable them to avoid the less obvious pitfalls and wasted effort so often experienced in the evolution of molds for (especially) complex parts.. Quite likely, Dr. Gruenwald's suggestions willl lead to considerable benefits to those who read and practice by this remarkable exposition of thermoforming technology. Robert K.

Fundamentals of Plastics Thermoforming
Author: Peter Klein
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031023927
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 83
Book Description
The process of heating and reshaping plastics sheet and film materials has been in use since the beginning of the plastics industry. This process is known as thermoforming. Today this process is used for industrial products including signage, housings, and hot tubs. It also produces much of the packaging in use today including blister packs, egg cartons, and food storage containers. This process has many advantages over other methods of producing these products, but it has some limitations. This book has a twofold purpose. It is designed to be used as a text book for a course on thermoforming. It is also intended to be an application guide for professionals in the field of thermoforming including manufacturing, process and quality engineers, and managers. This book is focused on process application rather than theory. It refers to real products and processes with the intent of understanding the real issues faced in this industry. In addition to materials and processes, part and tool design are covered. Quality control is critical to any operation and this is also covered in this text. Two areas of focus in today's industry include Lean operations and environmental issues. Both of these topics are also included.

Unit Manufacturing Processes
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309176670
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Manufacturing, reduced to its simplest form, involves the sequencing of product forms through a number of different processes. Each individual step, known as an unit manufacturing process, can be viewed as the fundamental building block of a nation's manufacturing capability. A committee of the National Research Council has prepared a report to help define national priorities for research in unit processes. It contains an organizing framework for unit process families, criteria for determining the criticality of a process or manufacturing technology, examples of research opportunities, and a prioritized list of enabling technologies that can lead to the manufacture of products of superior quality at competitive costs. The study was performed under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation and the Defense Department's Manufacturing Technology Program.

Superplastic Forming of Advanced Metallic Materials
Author: G Giuliano
Publisher: Woodhead Publishing
ISBN: 9781845697532
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Ultra fine-grained metals can show exceptional ductility, known as superplasticity, during sheet forming. The higher ductility of superplastic metals makes it possible to form large and complex components in a single operation without joints or rivets. The result is less waste, lower weight and manufacturing costs, high precision and lack of residual stress associated with welding which makes components ideal for aerospace, automotive and other applications. Superplastic forming of advanced metallic materials summarises key recent research on this important process. Part one reviews types of superplastic metals, standards for superplastic forming, processes and equipment. Part two discusses ways of modelling superplastic forming processes whilst the final part of the book considers applications, including superplastic forming of titanium, aluminium and magnesium alloys. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Superplastic forming of advanced metallic materials is a valuable reference for metallurgists and engineers in such sectors as aerospace and automotive engineering. Note: The Publishers wish to point out an error in the authorship of Chapter 3 which was originally listed as: G. Bernhart, Clément Ader Institute, France. The correct authorship is: G Bernhart, P. Lours, T. Cutard, V. Velay, Ecole des Mines Albi, France and F. Nazaret, Aurock, France. The Publishers apologise to the authors for this error.
