UNIT- 4 MANUFACTURING PROCESS METAL FORMING PROCESS Prof. Kiran Gore
METAL FORMING PROCESS TYPES q. Forging q. Rolling q. Extrusion q. Wire drawing q. Deep drawing q. Bending q. A metal in hot or cold condition, is plastically deformed. q No material is removed and wasted but only displaced & deformed in to desired shape
FORGING Is the process in which the metal or alloy is first heated and then plastically deformed to the desired size & shape by the application of compressive force by using hand hammer or a power hammer

CLASSIFICATION OF FORGING PROCESS Forging (based on working temperature ) Hot forging Or Hot working Cold forging Or Cold working
HOT FORGING In this process the deformation of a material or workpiece in to predetermined shape is carried out at a temperature greater than its recrystallization temperature
HOT FORGING
ADVANTAGES Ø big amount of forming is possible, Ø lower forces required, Ø forming ductility, Ø no of and materials work hardening power are with low
DISADVANTAGES Ø lower Ø accuracy and surface finish, higher production cost, Ø shorter tool life
COLD FORGING AND COLD WORKING Ø In this process the deformation of a material workpiece in predetermined shape carried out at or to is a temperature lower than its recrystallization temperature Ø Usually at room temperature
ADVANTAGES Ø better accuracy, Ø better surface finish, Ø high part, Ø no strength and hardness of the heating is required
DISADVANTAGES Ø higher forces and power, Ø limitations Ø some to the amount of forming, material are not capable of cold working.
