Flashcards
0/15
Drawing
A process that stretches metal into a desired shape and thickness through tensile forces.
Hydroforming
A forming process that uses a high-pressure hydraulic fluid to press room temperature working material into a die.
Deep Drawing
A metal forming process in which sheet metal is radially drawn into a forming die by mechanical action of a punch.
Sintering
A heat treatment process applied to powdered materials, in which particles are fused together to create a solid mass without melting.
Spinning
A metal forming process that forms axially symmetric parts by rotating a piece of sheet metal and applying force to the metal against a forming tool.
Coining
A precision stamping process that involves a high amount of pressure to conform the workpiece to the desired shape.
Rolling
A metal forming process in which metal stock is passed through one or more pairs of rolls to reduce thickness and make uniform.
Extrusion
A process to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile by pushing material through a die.
Explosive Forming
A forming process that uses a controlled detonation to form metal workpieces around a die.
Forging
A manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces.
Powder Metallurgy
A process of making metal parts by compacting fine metal powders in a die and then heating to create a solid piece.
Bending
A metal forming process wherein a force is applied to a piece of sheet metal, causing it to bend at an angle and form the desired shape.
Cold Heading
A process that forms metal by applying force to a metal blank within a die to form a head, typically used in the making of bolts and screws.
Swaging
A forging process that involves the use of a swaging machine to form metal by forcing it into a die to reduce its diameter.
Shearing
A cutting process that cuts stock without the formation of chips or the use of burning or melting.
