Course Objectives The objectives of this course are to impart knowledge on plasticity, surface treatment for forming of various types of metal forming process and to study the basic concepts of metal forming techniques and to develop force calculation in metal forming process. Another important objective is to study the thermo mechanical regimes and its requirements of metal forming.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • The students will have the ability to 1. To use plasticity theory in analysing various metal forming processes 2. Understand the pros and cons of various metal forming processes and their tool design requirements 3. Understand the role of friction in metal forming 4. Calculate forming forces and power 5. Understand formability limit diagrams and their importance in forming processes
Course Content Elements of the theory of plasticity, fundamentals of metal working, forging process, rolling process, extrusion process, drawing of rods, wires and tubes, sheet metal forming process, high energy rate forming.
