Metal Forming
Large group of manufacturing processes in which plastic
deformation is used to change the shape of metal
workpieces.
• The tool, usually called a die, applies stresses that
exceed the yield strength of the metal.
• The metal takes a shape determined by the geometry of
the die.
Stresses in Metal Forming
• Stresses to plastically deform the metal are
usually compressive
• Examples: rolling, forging, extrusion
• However, some forming processes
• Stretch the metal (tensile stresses)
• Others bend the metal (tensile and compressive)
• Still others apply shear stresses (shear spinning)
Material Properties in Metal Forming
• Desirable material properties:
• Low yield strength
• High ductility
• These properties are affected by temperature:
• Ductility increases and yield strength decreases
when work temperature is raised
• Other factors:
• Strain rate and friction
Basic Types of Deformation Processes

1. Bulk deformation (stock has high V/A)


• Rolling
• Forging
• Extrusion
• Wire and bar drawing
2. Sheet metalworking (stock has low V/A)
• Bending
• Deep drawing
• Cutting
Bulk Deformation Processes
• Characterized by significant deformations and
massive shape changes
• "Bulk" refers to workparts with relatively low
surface area-to-volume ratios
• Starting work shapes include cylindrical billets and
rectangular bars
Rolling

Basic bulk deformation processes: rolling


Forging

Basic bulk deformation processes: forging


Extrusion

Basic bulk deformation processes: (c) extrusion


Wire and Bar Drawing

Basic bulk deformation processes: (d) drawing


Sheet Metalworking
• Forming and related operations performed on metal
sheets, strips, and coils
• High surface area-to-volume ratio of starting metal,
which distinguishes these from bulk deformation
• Often called press working because presses perform
these operations
• Parts are called stampings
• Usual tooling: punch and die
Sheet Metal Bending

Basic sheet metalworking operations: bending


Deep Drawing

Basic sheet metalworking operations: drawing


Shearing of Sheet Metal

Basic sheet metalworking operations: shearing


Material Behavior in Metal Forming
• Plastic region of stress-strain curve is primary interest because
material is plastically deformed
• In plastic region, metal's behavior is expressed by the flow curve:

Y f  K n

where K = strength coefficient;


and n = strain hardening exponent
 Flow curve based on true stress
and true strain
Flow Stress
• For most metals at room temperature, strength increases when
deformed due to strain hardening
• Flow stress = instantaneous value of stress required to
continue deforming the material

Y f  K n

where Yf = flow stress, i.e., the yield strength as


a function of strain
Average Flow Stress
• Determined by integrating the flow curve equation between zero
and the final strain value defining the range of interest
_ K n
Yf 
1 n
= average flow stress; and  = maximum strain during

where Yf

deformation process. n = strain hardening exponent


Temperature in Metal Forming
• For any metal, K and n in the flow curve depend on
temperature
• Both strength (K) and strain hardening (n) are reduced at higher
temperatures
• In addition, ductility is increased at higher temperatures
Temperature in Metal Forming

• Any deformation operation can be accomplished with lower


forces and power at elevated temperature
• Three temperature ranges in metal forming:
• Cold working
• Warm working
• Hot working
1. Cold Working
• Performed at room temperature or slightly
above
• Many cold forming processes are important
mass production operations
• Minimum or no machining usually required
Advantages of Cold Forming
• Better accuracy, closer tolerances
• Better surface finish
• Strain hardening increases strength and
hardness
• No heating of work required
Disadvantages of Cold Forming
• Higher forces and power required in the deformation
operation
• Ductility and strain hardening limit the amount of
forming that can be done
• In some cases, metal must be annealed to allow further
deformation
• In other cases, metal is simply not ductile enough to be cold
worked
Impact of Cold Work
As cold work is increased
• Yield strength (sy) increases.
• Tensile strength (TS) increases.
• Ductility (%EL or %AR) decreases.

Three Stages During Heat Treatment:

1. Recovery

• During recovery, some of the stored internal


strain energy is relieved. In addition, physical
properties such as electrical and thermal
conductivities are recovered to their precold-
worked states.
2. Recrystallization
• New grains are formed that:
-- have low dislocation densities
-- are small in size
-- consume and replace parent cold-worked grains.

3. Grain Growth
• At longer times, average grain size increases.
-- Small grains shrink (and ultimately disappear)
-- Large grains continue to grow

2. Warm Working
• Performed at temperatures above room temperature but
below recrystallization temperature
• Dividing line between cold working and warm working
often expressed in terms of melting point
Advantages of Warm Working
• Lower forces and power than in cold working
• More intricate work geometries possible
• Need for annealing may be reduced or
eliminated
• Low spring back

Disadvantage:
1. Scaling of part surface
3. Hot Working
• Deformation at temperatures above the
recrystallization temperature
• Recrystallization temperature = about
one-half of melting point on absolute scale
• In practice, hot working usually performed
somewhat above 0.6Tm
• Metal continues to soften as temperature
increases above 0.6Tm, enhancing advantage of
hot working above this level
Why Hot Working?
Capability for substantial plastic deformation
of the metal - far more than possible with
cold working or warm working
• Why?
• Strength coefficient (K) is substantially less than
at room temperature
• Strain hardening exponent (n) is zero
(theoretically)
• Ductility is significantly increased
Advantages of Hot Working
• Workpart shape can be significantly altered
• Lower forces and power required
• Metals that usually fracture in cold working
can be hot formed
• Strength properties of product are generally
isotropic
• No work hardening occurs during forming
Disadvantages of Hot Working
• Lower dimensional accuracy in case of bulk
forming
• Higher total energy required (due to the
thermal energy to heat the workpiece)
• Work surface oxidation (scale), poorer
surface finish
• Shorter tool life
