This sourcebook presents the most important metal-working and shearing processes - and their related machines and tooling - in a concise form supplemented by ample illustrations, tables and flow charts. Practical examples show how to calculate forces and strain energy of the processes and the specific parameters of the machines, and exercises help readers improve understanding. Because much production today is automated using modern Computer Numerical Control engineering, the book covers automated flexible metal forming and handling systems. Carefully translated from the eighth revised German-language edition, Metal Forming Practise offers a valuable reference tool for students, engineers and technicians.
