Metal Forming Processes

Bulk Deformation

Sheet Metal Forming

Forging workpiece is shaped by compressive forces applied through dies and tooling

Extrusion
used for continuous
manufacture of discrete products from a metals and alloys

Rolling
the process of reducing the cross section of a long workpiece by compressive forces applied through a set
of rolls

Wire and Bar drawing
metal process used to reduce the cross-section of a wire by pulling the wire through a single, \or series of, drawing dies.

Shearing

Miscellaneous Processes

Deep or Cup Drawing A flat sheet metal blank deeply drawn by means of a punch that presses the blank into the die cavity
