Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

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 ...

Short cycle times and automated methods are key to meeting the high production rates being sought for the next generation of narrowbody commercial aircraft, advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned ...

Changing the way a plant forms cellulose may lead to more efficient, less expensive biofuel production, according to Penn State engineers. "What every biofuel manufacturer wants to do is to get to the ...

European scientists developed a novel foundry process using moulds formed by 'binding' metallic particles with application of a magnetic field. The process produced high-quality, complex parts at a ...
