Metal Working Processes - PPT-1
• Indirect-compression processes:
The primary forces are frequently tensile,
with indirect compressive forces developed
by the reaction of the work piece. The metal
flow is therefore under the combined stress
state, i.e., extrusion, wiredrawing, tube
drawing.
Classification of metal forming processes
• Tension type processes:
The applied force is tensile, i.e., stretching forming.
• Bending processes:
The applied force involves the application of bending
moments to the sheet.
• Shearing processes:
The applied force involves the application of shearing
forces of sufficient magnitude to rupture the metal in the
plane of shear.
Classification of metal forming by subgroups
Metal Forming
• Only (large) plastic strain is considered while elastic strain is very small and can be
neglected.
• Strain hardening is often neglected.
• Metal is considered to be isotropic and homogeneous.
Normally plastic deformation is not uniform and also have frictions, but we need to
simplify the stress analysis in order to determine the force required to produce a given
amount of deformation to obtain a product in a required geometry.

➢ In metalworking, compressive stress and strain are predominated. If a block of initial
height ho is compressed to h1, the axial compressive strain will be:
