www.simtech.frIn sheet metal forming practice, we distinguish five basic modes of deformation: • STRETCHING: The material is expanded in both directions. This mode of deformation is found mostly on smooth bottoms of shallow parts and in hydroforming processes. • DRAWING: This mode is typical the
Metal forming processes
iitg.ac.inSheet forming: Sheet metal forming involves forming and cutting operations performed on metal sheets, strips, and coils. The surface area-to-volume ratio of the starting metal is relatively high. Tools include punch, die that are used to deform the sheets.
