Forming of metals

The content of the course is as follows:

• reminder of continum mechanics and plasticity under mutiaxial loading

• Forming limit diagrams

• Texture and anisotropy

• Annealing phenomena: static and dynamic recrystallization

• Rolling and controlled rolling

• Extrusion

• Deep drawing

The industrial visits consists in 6 visits in 3 days illustrating varioy-us aspects of materials technology; Exemples are: ASCO,Materialize, AGC Glass Europe production site, Safran,...

The objective of this course is to help the students mobilize their skills at the microstrural scale (bulk and surface) in order to understand the modern forming technologies. At the end of this course the students should be able to

• Explain the different forming operations with their strong points and drawbacks

• Unsderstand and explain how both surface and bulk properties are affecting the final product

• Explain how the technological and processing parameters canbe tuned to optimize the properties and related microtructure of the final part

• Discuss the importance of material's anisotropy during forming operations

Lectures are given using PPT slides
