Course objectives:
The main objective of this subject is to introduce the basics of metal forming processes for PhD students arriving with different background in metal forming. The two main groups of metal forming processes, i.e. sheet and bulk metal forming processes will be taught. The basics of metal forming processes and their technological process backgrounds will be learned from the mechanical engineering points of view.
 
Course content and structure:
1.    The phenomenological background of plastic deformation in metal forming processes2.    Classification of metal forming processes3.    Sheet metal forming – Technological process planning of blanking and piercing4.    Design concepts of blanking, piercing tools including geometrical dimensioning, tolerancing and strength calculations5.    Sheet metal bending: the strain and stress state of bending6.    Technological process planning and tool design in sheet metal bending7.    Classification of deep-drawing processes.
