Metal Forming
Large group of manufacturing processes in
which plastic deformation is used to change
the shape of metal workpieces
 The tool, usually called a die, applies stresses
that exceed the yield strength of the metal
 The metal takes a shape determined by the
geometry of the die
4
Stresses in Metal Forming
 Stresses to plastically deform the metal are
usually compressive
 Examples: rolling, forging, extrusion
 However, some forming processes
 Stretch the metal (tensile stresses)
 Others bend the metal (tensile and
compressive)
 Still others apply shear stresses (shear
spinning)
5
Material Properties in Metal
Forming
 Desirable material properties:
 Low yield strength
 High ductility
 These properties are affected by temperature:
 Ductility increases and yield strength decreases
when work temperature is raised
 Other factors:
 Strain rate and friction

Material Behavior in Metal
Forming
 Plastic region of stress-strain curve is
primary interest because material is
plastically deformed
 In plastic region, metal's behavior is
expressed by the flow curve:
where K = strength coefficient;
and n = strain hardening
exponent
 Flow curve based on true
stress and true strain
18
n
fY K
Flow Stress
 For most metals at room temperature, strength
increases when deformed due to strain
hardening
 Flow stress = instantaneous value of stress
required to continue plastically deforming the
material - to keep the metal flowing.
where Yf = flow stress, i.e., the yield
strength as a function of strain
19
n
fY K
Average Flow Stress
 Determined by integrating the flow curve
equation between zero and the final strain
value defining the range of interest
where = average flow stress; and  =
maximum strain during deformation process.
n = strain hardening exponent

Temperature in Metal Forming
 For any metal, K and n in the flow curve
depend on temperature
 Both strength (K) and strain hardening (n)
are reduced at higher temperatures
 In addition, ductility is increased at higher
temperatures
21
Temperature in Metal Forming
 Any deformation operation can be
accomplished with lower forces and power at
elevated temperature
 Three temperature ranges in metal forming:
 Cold working
 Warm working
 Hot working
22
1. Cold Working
 Performed at room temperature or slightly
above
 Many cold forming processes are important
mass production operations
 Minimum or no machining usually required
 These operations are near net shape or net
shape processes
23
Advantages of Cold Forming
 Better accuracy, closer tolerances
 Better surface finish
 Strain hardening increases strength and
hardness
 Grain flow during deformation can cause
desirable directional properties in product
 No heating of work required
24
Disadvantages of Cold Forming
 Higher forces and power required in the
deformation operation
 Ductility and strain hardening limit the amount
of forming that can be done
 In some cases, metal must be annealed to
allow further deformation
 In other cases, metal is simply not ductile
enough to be cold worked
25
2. Warm Working
 Performed at temperatures above room
temperature but below recrystallization
temperature
 Dividing line between cold working and warm
working often expressed in terms of melting
point:
 0.3Tm, where Tm = melting point (absolute
temperature) for metal
26
Advantages of Warm Working
 Lower forces and power than in cold working
 More intricate work geometries possible
 Need for annealing may be reduced or
eliminated
 Low spring back
Disadvantage:
1. Scaling of part surface
27
3. Hot Working
 Deformation at temperatures above the
recrystallization temperature
 Recrystallization temperature = about one-half of
melting point on absolute scale
 In practice, hot working usually performed
somewhat above 0.5Tm
 Metal continues to soften as temperature
increases above 0.5Tm, enhancing advantage
of hot working above this level
28
Why Hot Working?
Capability for substantial plastic deformation of the
metal - far more than possible with cold working or
warm working
 Why?
 Strength coefficient (K) is substantially less than
at room temperature
 Strain hardening exponent (n) is zero
(theoretically)
 Ductility is significantly increased
29
Advantages of Hot Working
 Workpart shape can be significantly altered
 Lower forces and power required
 Metals that usually fracture in cold working can be
hot formed
 Strength properties of product are generally
isotropic
 No work hardening occurs during forming
 Advantageous in cases when part is to be
subsequently processed by cold forming
30
Disadvantages of Hot Working
 Lower dimensional accuracy in case of bulk
forming
 Higher total energy required (due to the
thermal energy to heat the workpiece)
 Work surface oxidation (scale), poorer surface
finish
 Shorter tool life
31
Isothermal Forming- A Type of Hot Forming
When highly alloyed metals such as Ti and Nickel
alloys are heated to hot temp and bring in contact with
cold tooling, the heat radiates from the metal to
tooling. This result in high residual stresses and temp
variation over metal and hence irregular material flow
occurs during forming, causing cracks.
In order to avoid this problem, both metal and
tooling are heated to same temp. However, this
causes reduction in tooling life.
** Mostly, Forging is performed through this process
32
Strain Rate Sensitivity
 Theoretically, a metal in hot working behaves like
a perfectly plastic material, with strain hardening
exponent n = 0
 The metal should continue to flow at the same
flow stress, once that stress is reached
 However, an additional phenomenon occurs
during deformation, especially at elevated
temperatures: Strain rate sensitivity
33
What is Strain Rate?
 Strain rate in forming is directly related to
speed of deformation v
 Deformation speed v = velocity of the ram or
other movement of the equipment
 Strain rate is defined:
where = true strain rate; and h = instantaneous
height of workpiece being deformed
34
35
Evaluation of Strain Rate
 In most practical operations, evaluation of
strain rate is complicated by
 Workpart geometry
 Variations in strain rate in different regions
of the part
 Strain rate can reach 1000 s-1 or more for
some metal forming operations
36
Effect of Strain Rate on Flow
Stress
 Flow stress is a function of temperature
 At hot working temperatures, flow stress also
depends on strain rate
 As strain rate increases, resistance to
deformation increases
 This effect is known as strain-rate sensitivity
37
(a) Effect of strain rate on flow stress at an elevated work temperature.
(b) Same relationship plotted on log-log coordinates.
Strain Rate Sensitivity
38
Effect of strain rate on strength properties/ flow stress is
called strain rate sensitivity
Log-Log
scale
Strain Rate Sensitivity Equation
where C = strength constant (similar but
not equal to strength coefficient in flow
curve equation), and m = strain-rate
sensitivity/ exponent
39
Effect of temperature on flow
stress for a typical metal. The
constant C, as indicated by
the intersection of each plot
with the vertical dashed line
at strain rate = 1.0,
decreases, and m (slope of
each plot) increases with
increasing temperature.
Effect of Temperature on Flow Stress
40

Log-Log
scale
Observations about Strain Rate
Sensitivity
 Increasing temperature decreases C and
increases m
 At room temperature, effect of strain rate is
almost negligible
 As temperature increases, strain rate
becomes increasingly important in
determining flow stress
41
Friction in Metal Forming
Sticking: If the coefficient of friction becomes too
large, a condition known as STICKING occurs.
Definition: Sticking in metal working is the
tendency for the two surfaces in relative motion to
adhere to each other rather than slide.
When Sticking Occurs??
The friction stress between the surfaces becomes
higher than the shear flow stress of the metal thus
causing the material to deform by a shear process
beneath the surface rather than slip at the surface.
Sticking is a prominent problem in forming operations,
especially rolling.
42
Lubrication in Metal Forming
 Metalworking lubricants are applied to tool-work
interface to reduce magnitude of friction co-efficient in
order to reduce harmful effects of friction
 Benefits:
 Reduced sticking, forces, power, tool wear
 Better surface finish
 Removes heat from the tooling
Lubricants: Mineral oils, Fats, Fatty oils, water based
emulsions, Soaps and Coatings
For hot working: Graphite, Molten glass. Graphite can
be used in solid as well as in water suspension form.
Glass is useful in hot extrusion of steel alloys.
43
Four Basic Bulk Deformation
Processes
1. Rolling – slab or plate is squeezed between
opposing rolls
2. Forging – work is squeezed and shaped
between opposing dies
3. Extrusion – work is squeezed through a die
opening, thereby taking the shape of the opening
4. Wire and bar drawing – diameter of wire or bar
is reduced by pulling it through a die opening
44
Deformation process in which work thickness is
reduced by compressive forces exerted by
two opposing rolls
The rolling process (specifically, flat rolling).
1. Rolling
45Basic Bulk Deformation Processes
The Rolls
Rotating rolls perform two main functions:
 Pull the work into the gap between them by
friction between work part and rolls
 Simultaneously squeeze the work to reduce
its cross section
46Basic Bulk Deformation Processes
Types of Rolling
 Based on work-piece geometry:
 Flat rolling - used to reduce thickness of a
rectangular cross section
 Shape rolling - square cross section is formed into
a shape such as an I-beam
 Based on work temperature:
 Hot Rolling – most common due to the large
amount of deformation required
 Cold rolling – produces finished sheet and plate
stock

Basic Bulk Deformation Processes
Shape Rolling
Work is deformed into a contoured
cross section rather than flat
(rectangular)
 Accomplished by passing work
through rolls that have the
reverse of desired shape
 Products include:
 Construction shapes such as
I-beams, L-beams, and
U-channels
 Rails for railroad tracks
 Round and square bars and
rods
55
Basic Bulk Deformation Processes
Rolling Mills
 Equipment is massive and expensive
 Rolling mill configurations:
 Two-high – two opposing rolls
 Three-high – work passes through rolls in both
directions
 Four-high – backing rolls support smaller work
rolls
 Cluster mill – multiple backing rolls on smaller
rolls
 Tandem rolling mill – sequence of two-high
mills
56

Various configurations of rolling mills: (a) 2-high rolling mill.
Two-High Rolling Mill
57
Roll dia: 0.6-1.4m
Basic Bulk Deformation Processes
A two-high non-reversing, which
means there are two rolls that turn
only in one direction.
The two-high reversing mill has
rolls that can rotate in both
directions, but the disadvantage is
that the rolls must be stopped,
reversed, and then brought back up
to rolling speed between each pass
Various configurations of rolling mills: (b) 3-high rolling mill.
Three-High Rolling Mill
58
Roll dia: 0.6-1.4m
Basic Bulk Deformation Processes
The disadvantage to this system
is the work-piece must be lifted
and lowered using an elevator
Various configurations of rolling mills: (c) four-high rolling mill.
Four-High Rolling Mill
59
Basic Bulk Deformation Processes
A small roll diameter is
advantageous because less roll is in
contact with the material, which
results in a lower force and energy
requirement.
The stiffness of small roll is
increased by back-up large roll
Multiple backing rolls allow even smaller roll diameters
Various configurations of rolling mills: (d) cluster mill

60
Basic Bulk Deformation Processes
These types of mills are commonly
used to hot roll wide plates, most cold
rolling applications, and to roll foils

Various configurations of rolling mills: (e) tandem
rolling mill.

Basic Bulk Deformation Processes
A tandem mill is a special type of modern rolling mill where rolling is done in one
pass.
In a traditional rolling mill rolling is done in several passes, but in tandem mill there are
several stands and reductions take place successively.
The number of stands ranges from 2 to 18. Tandem mill can be either hot or cold
rolling mill type
Thread Rolling
Bulk deformation process used to form threads on
cylindrical parts by rolling them between two dies
 Important commercial process for mass producing
bolts and screws
 Performed by cold working in thread rolling
machines
 Advantages over thread cutting (machining):
 Higher production rates
 Better material utilization
 Stronger threads and better fatigue resistance
due to work hardening

Ring Rolling
Deformation process in which a thick-walled ring of smaller diameter
is rolled into a thin-walled ring of larger diameter
 As thick-walled ring is compressed, deformed metal elongates,
causing diameter of ring to be enlarged
 Hot working process for large rings and cold working process for
smaller rings
64

  • 3. 3
  • 4. Metal Forming Large group of manufacturing processes in which plastic deformation is used to change the shape of metal workpieces  The tool, usually called a die, applies stresses that exceed the yield strength of the metal  The metal takes a shape determined by the geometry of the die 4
  • 5. Stresses in Metal Forming  Stresses to plastically deform the metal are usually compressive  Examples: rolling, forging, extrusion  However, some forming processes  Stretch the metal (tensile stresses)  Others bend the metal (tensile and compressive)  Still others apply shear stresses (shear spinning) 5
  • 6. Material Properties in Metal Forming  Desirable material properties:  Low yield strength  High ductility  These properties are affected by temperature:  Ductility increases and yield strength decreases when work temperature is raised  Other factors:  Strain rate and friction 6

  • 14. Sheet Metalworking  Forming and related operations performed on metal sheets, strips, and coils  High surface area-to-volume ratio of starting metal, which distinguishes these from bulk deformation  Often called pressworking because presses perform these operations  Parts are called stampings  Usual tooling: punch and die 14
  • 15. Basic sheet metalworking operations: bending Sheet Metal Bending 15
  • 16. Basic sheet metalworking operations: drawing Deep Drawing 16
  • 17. Basic sheet metalworking operations: shearing Shearing of Sheet Metal 17
  • 18. Material Behavior in Metal Forming  Plastic region of stress-strain curve is primary interest because material is plastically deformed  In plastic region, metal's behavior is expressed by the flow curve: where K = strength coefficient; and n = strain hardening exponent  Flow curve based on true stress and true strain 18 n fY K
  • 19. Flow Stress  For most metals at room temperature, strength increases when deformed due to strain hardening  Flow stress = instantaneous value of stress required to continue plastically deforming the material - to keep the metal flowing. where Yf = flow stress, i.e., the yield strength as a function of strain 19 n fY K
  • 20. Average Flow Stress  Determined by integrating the flow curve equation between zero and the final strain value defining the range of interest where = average flow stress; and  = maximum strain during deformation process. n = strain hardening exponent 20 _ 1 n f K Y n    _ fY
  • 21. Temperature in Metal Forming  For any metal, K and n in the flow curve depend on temperature  Both strength (K) and strain hardening (n) are reduced at higher temperatures  In addition, ductility is increased at higher temperatures 21
  • 22. Temperature in Metal Forming  Any deformation operation can be accomplished with lower forces and power at elevated temperature  Three temperature ranges in metal forming:  Cold working  Warm working  Hot working 22
  • 23. 1. Cold Working  Performed at room temperature or slightly above  Many cold forming processes are important mass production operations  Minimum or no machining usually required  These operations are near net shape or net shape processes 23
  • 24. Advantages of Cold Forming  Better accuracy, closer tolerances  Better surface finish  Strain hardening increases strength and hardness  Grain flow during deformation can cause desirable directional properties in product  No heating of work required 24
  • 25. Disadvantages of Cold Forming  Higher forces and power required in the deformation operation  Ductility and strain hardening limit the amount of forming that can be done  In some cases, metal must be annealed to allow further deformation  In other cases, metal is simply not ductile enough to be cold worked 25
  • 26. 2. Warm Working  Performed at temperatures above room temperature but below recrystallization temperature  Dividing line between cold working and warm working often expressed in terms of melting point:  0.3Tm, where Tm = melting point (absolute temperature) for metal 26
  • 27. Advantages of Warm Working  Lower forces and power than in cold working  More intricate work geometries possible  Need for annealing may be reduced or eliminated  Low spring back Disadvantage: 1. Scaling of part surface 27
  • 28. 3. Hot Working  Deformation at temperatures above the recrystallization temperature  Recrystallization temperature = about one-half of melting point on absolute scale  In practice, hot working usually performed somewhat above 0.5Tm  Metal continues to soften as temperature increases above 0.5Tm, enhancing advantage of hot working above this level 28
  • 29. Why Hot Working? Capability for substantial plastic deformation of the metal - far more than possible with cold working or warm working  Why?  Strength coefficient (K) is substantially less than at room temperature  Strain hardening exponent (n) is zero (theoretically)  Ductility is significantly increased 29
  • 30. Advantages of Hot Working  Workpart shape can be significantly altered  Lower forces and power required  Metals that usually fracture in cold working can be hot formed  Strength properties of product are generally isotropic  No work hardening occurs during forming  Advantageous in cases when part is to be subsequently processed by cold forming 30
  • 31. Disadvantages of Hot Working  Lower dimensional accuracy in case of bulk forming  Higher total energy required (due to the thermal energy to heat the workpiece)  Work surface oxidation (scale), poorer surface finish  Shorter tool life 31
  • 32. Isothermal Forming- A Type of Hot Forming When highly alloyed metals such as Ti and Nickel alloys are heated to hot temp and bring in contact with cold tooling, the heat radiates from the metal to tooling. This result in high residual stresses and temp variation over metal and hence irregular material flow occurs during forming, causing cracks. In order to avoid this problem, both metal and tooling are heated to same temp. However, this causes reduction in tooling life. ** Mostly, Forging is performed through this process 32
  • 33. Strain Rate Sensitivity  Theoretically, a metal in hot working behaves like a perfectly plastic material, with strain hardening exponent n = 0  The metal should continue to flow at the same flow stress, once that stress is reached  However, an additional phenomenon occurs during deformation, especially at elevated temperatures: Strain rate sensitivity 33
  • 34. What is Strain Rate?  Strain rate in forming is directly related to speed of deformation v  Deformation speed v = velocity of the ram or other movement of the equipment  Strain rate is defined: where = true strain rate; and h = instantaneous height of workpiece being deformed 34
  • 35. 35
  • 36. Evaluation of Strain Rate  In most practical operations, evaluation of strain rate is complicated by  Workpart geometry  Variations in strain rate in different regions of the part  Strain rate can reach 1000 s-1 or more for some metal forming operations 36
  • 37. Effect of Strain Rate on Flow Stress  Flow stress is a function of temperature  At hot working temperatures, flow stress also depends on strain rate  As strain rate increases, resistance to deformation increases  This effect is known as strain-rate sensitivity 37
  • 38. (a) Effect of strain rate on flow stress at an elevated work temperature. (b) Same relationship plotted on log-log coordinates. Strain Rate Sensitivity 38 Effect of strain rate on strength properties/ flow stress is called strain rate sensitivity Log-Log scale
  • 39. Strain Rate Sensitivity Equation where C = strength constant (similar but not equal to strength coefficient in flow curve equation), and m = strain-rate sensitivity/ exponent 39
  • 40. Effect of temperature on flow stress for a typical metal. The constant C, as indicated by the intersection of each plot with the vertical dashed line at strain rate = 1.0, decreases, and m (slope of each plot) increases with increasing temperature. Effect of Temperature on Flow Stress 40 C Log-Log scale
  • 41. Observations about Strain Rate Sensitivity  Increasing temperature decreases C and increases m  At room temperature, effect of strain rate is almost negligible  As temperature increases, strain rate becomes increasingly important in determining flow stress 41
  • 42. Friction in Metal Forming Sticking: If the coefficient of friction becomes too large, a condition known as STICKING occurs. Definition: Sticking in metal working is the tendency for the two surfaces in relative motion to adhere to each other rather than slide. When Sticking Occurs?? The friction stress between the surfaces becomes higher than the shear flow stress of the metal thus causing the material to deform by a shear process beneath the surface rather than slip at the surface. Sticking is a prominent problem in forming operations, especially rolling. 42
  • 43. Lubrication in Metal Forming  Metalworking lubricants are applied to tool-work interface to reduce magnitude of friction co-efficient in order to reduce harmful effects of friction  Benefits:  Reduced sticking, forces, power, tool wear  Better surface finish  Removes heat from the tooling Lubricants: Mineral oils, Fats, Fatty oils, water based emulsions, Soaps and Coatings For hot working: Graphite, Molten glass. Graphite can be used in solid as well as in water suspension form. Glass is useful in hot extrusion of steel alloys. 43
  • 44. Four Basic Bulk Deformation Processes 1. Rolling – slab or plate is squeezed between opposing rolls 2. Forging – work is squeezed and shaped between opposing dies 3. Extrusion – work is squeezed through a die opening, thereby taking the shape of the opening 4. Wire and bar drawing – diameter of wire or bar is reduced by pulling it through a die opening 44

  • 47. Types of Rolling  Based on work-piece geometry:  Flat rolling - used to reduce thickness of a rectangular cross section  Shape rolling - square cross section is formed into a shape such as an I-beam  Based on work temperature:  Hot Rolling – most common due to the large amount of deformation required  Cold rolling – produces finished sheet and plate stock 47Basic Bulk Deformation Processes

Editor's Notes

  1. We cannot model the relationship between stress and strain in plastic range by Hooke’s Law
  2. K = strength coefficient; and n = strain hardening exponent
  3. C = strength constant; m = strain‑rate sensitivity exponent
  4. Mills are designed in different types of configurations, with the most basic being a two-high non-reversing, which means there are two rolls that only turn in one direction. The two-high reversing mill has rolls that can rotate in both directions, but the disadvantage is that the rolls must be stopped, reversed, and then brought back up to rolling speed between each pass
  5. the three-high mill was invented, which uses three rolls that rotate in one direction; the metal is fed through two of the rolls and then returned through the other pair. The disadvantage to this system is the workpiece must be lifted and lowered using an elevator. All of these mills are usually used for primary rolling and the roll diameters range from 60 to 140 cm
  6. To minimize the roll diameter a four-high or cluster mill is used. A small roll diameter is advantageous because less roll is in contact with the material, which results in a lower force and energy requirement. The problem with a small roll is a reduction of stiffness, which is overcome using backup rolls. These backup rolls are larger and contact the back side of the smaller rolls
  7. A cluster mill has more than 4 rolls, usually in three tiers. These types of mills are commonly used to hot roll wide plates, most cold rolling applications, and to roll foils
  8. A tandem mill is a special type of modern rolling mill where rolling is done in one pass. In a traditional rolling mill rolling is done in several passes, but in tandem mill there are several stands and reductions take place successively. The number of stands ranges from 2 to 18. Tandem mill can be either hot or cold rolling mill type
  9. Edging rolls control the height of the ring
