Extrusion is a process used for creating a product (an extrudate) by forcing a material through a die or an orifice to form a shape, or alternatively an extruder is used to produce semi-finished or ...

Shaping technologies can include casting, forming, machining or subtractive processes machining, etching, atomization, and additive methods like powder metallurgy, 3D printing, plating and welding.

The aluminium alloy AA2014 is one of the most widely used of the 2xxx series alloys, owing to its superior strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness. It is commonly forged to shape for use in aerospace ...

Since the invention of computer-aided design (CAD) in the early 1960s, it has become much easier for product designers to design sheet metal components and parts for different applications. But one ...

Forming sheet metal is one of the most critical processes in fabricating and manufacturing parts and components. In sheet metal forming, metals are reshaped in their solid state while they are still ...
