Editorial Reviews

An English translation of the classic German handbook originally published as Lehrbuch der Unformtechnik, 1972 and 1975, presenting comprehensive treatment of metal forming technologies and refining processes. The volume defines the fundamentals of bulk-metal and sheet-metal forming, blanking, piercing, slug production, metal forming under special conditions, and tools. The focus in each discussion is on strategies to improve precision, maintain quality, and combine processes for cost effectiveness. The appendices supply comparative designations and the chemical compositions for both steels and nonferrous metals. Includes illustrations and photographs. Annotation c.
