METALWORKING PROCESSES AND EQUIPMENT
Abstract
The Government Metalworking Processes and Equipment Program is a coordinated effort of the Army, Navy, Air Force and NASA to identify salient factors which limit metal deformation processes and concurrently to sponsor research to extend these limits for improvement of manufacturing capabilities. This is the final report of the committee. The advice of the committee and its two panels (one on Lubrication in Metalworking and the other on Application of Deformation Theory to Practice) is in the form of 34 recommendations for R and D in the following areas of metalworking: Vibrational Energy; Hydrostatic Extrusion; Laboratory Measurements of Mechanical Properties; Superplasticity; Ductile Fracture; The Application of Computers to Deformation Processing; Heat Transfer; Crystal Mechanics; The Function of Continuum Mechanics in the Analysis and Design of Metalworking Processes; Lubrication; Application of Deformation Theory to Practice; Limitations of Extrusion Processes; Thin Sheet Rolling; The Use of Computers in Forging Die Design; The Use of Model Experiments in Forging Die Design; The Application of Plasticity Mechanics to Forging Die Design; Mechanics of Ductile Fracture; Formability limits; Incremental Forming; High Energy Rate Forming; Plastic Strain Cycling.
