Advanced forming technology

Abstract

Forming is usually the final stage of metallurgical production of steel (90 % of the 1,7 billion tons of total steel production in the world) and traditionally also largely of the products made of non-ferrous metals. Many procedures and methods exist and we will focus only on some of them. The aim is usually to achieve ultra-fine grained structure, the proper microstructure and (mechanical / electrical) properties in innovative materials. The presented article mentions only some examples.
