Cold rolling has detrimental effect on the formability of sheet metals. It is, however, inevitable in producing sheet high quality surfaces. The effects of cold rolling on the forming limits of ...

Forming sheet metal is one of the most critical processes in fabricating and manufacturing parts and components. In sheet metal forming, metals are reshaped in their solid state while they are still ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

In this study, the effect of the rolling process on the mechanical and metallurgical properties of a two-layer Al and Ti sample was investigated. First, the two-layer samples were produced through the ...

Researchers from AIST have developed a new rolling process for improving room-temperature formability of a damping magnesium alloy (M1 alloy). In the new rolling process, while a conventional rolling ...

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 ...
