Forming processes
Forming processes are particular manufacturing processes which make use of suitable stresses (like compression, tension, shear or combined stresses) which cause plastic deformation of the materials to produce required shapes.
Some examples of forming processes are:
- Forging
- Extrusion
- Rolling
- Sheet metal working
- Rotary swaging
- Thread rolling
- Explosive forming
- Electromagnetic forming
- Plastic extrusion
- Die forming
- Food extrusion
