Description
This course is a brief introduction to metallic alloys forming in the solid state. Materials forming is presented through its main scientific challenges: material and heat flow, thermomechanical interaction between the material and the tools and microstructure evolution induced by the associated physical mechanisms.
Thus, through the exposition of these various scientific challenges, several classical materials forming processes such as rolling, wire drawing, extrusion, stamping, as well as less classical processes such as flow forming and magnetic forming, are introduced and described.
The course aims to acquaint the audience with the different aspects and scientific disciplines related to materials forming and to familiarize them with some of the widely used processes.
