Metal Forming: Mechanics And Metallurgy

Metal Forming: Mechanics and Metallurgy Book Description

This book covers metal forming principles and the analysis of forming problems--from the mechanics and the materials property perspectives as they affect manufacturing processes.
This book helps the engineer understand the principles of metal forming and analyze forming problems--both the mechanics of forming processes and how the properties of metals interact with the processes. In this third edition, an entire chapter has been devoted to forming limit diagrams and various aspects of stamping and another on other sheet forming operations. Sheet testing is covered in a separate chapter. Coverage of sheet metal properties has been expanded. Interesting end-of-chapter notes have been added throughout, as well as references. More than 200 end-of-chapter problems are also included.

William F Hosford has contributed to Metal Forming: Mechanics and Metallurgy as an author.William Hosford is a Professor Emeritus of Materials Science and Engineering at University of Michigan. He is the author of more than 80 technical articles and a number of books including the leading selling Metal Forming: Mechanics and Metallurgy 3/e (with R. M. Caddell) (CUP 2007); Materials Science; An Intermediate Text (Cup 2006); Mechanical Behavior of Materials (CUP 2005); Mechanics of Crystals and Textured Polycrystals (Oxford University Press 1993); Mechanical Metallurgy (CRC Press 2005)and the forthcoming Materials for Engineers, an undergraduate textbook.
