Metal forming encompasses a suite of processes—including rolling, extrusion, forging, drawing, spinning and flow forming—that impart shape, dimensional precision and tailored microstructure to ...

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 ...

Mission creep is a common problem in manufacturing. The initial success of a product can trigger an unexpected level of demand, ironically leading to production volumes that are less cost-effective.
