Metal Forming: Mechanics and Metallurgy

by William F. Hosford, Robert M. Caddell

Updated to reflect the latest developments in the field, this book helps readers gain a thorough understanding of the interaction of the tooling and metal during plastic deformation. New to this edition is updated coverage of sheet forming, recognizing appropriate boundary conditions, slab analysis, Hill's generalized anisotropic yield criteria, high exponent criterion, an approximate analysis of earing, sheet metal properties, and more. An ideal reference for mechanical engineers, materials engineers, and metallurgical engineers, as well as researchers in sheet forming.
