Download or read book Volume 2. Final Report on Sheet Metal Forming Technology (Handbook) written by W. W. Wood and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project is to determine the inherent limitations of sheet metal forming processes, to develop the knowledge to significantly advance these, and to recommend the mannere in which this can be accomplished. In addition, this Forming Handbook has been compiled to give the principle applications and limitations of the major sheet-metal forming processesand materials. It is presented in three major sections: Material Purchasing Information, Conventional Forming and Advanced Methods of Forming. The first discusses availability, costs, chemical composition, heat treatment, and properites for a broad range of sheet metal alloys. Quantitative design limites are given in the Conventional Forming Section. The section on Advanced Methods of Forming presents the fundamentals for forming processes, such as explosive, capacitor discharge, combustible gas, high-pressure rubber and vibration.
