Course objectives

The aim of the Sheet Metal Forming course is for mechanical engineering students to understand the relationship between the microstructure of metals and their mechanical properties, and to gain knowledge about the volume forming/sheet metal forming technologies commonly used in practice, their characteristics, applications, as well as the basic knowledge required for related forming and processing technologies.

Course content

Lectures

Basic knowledge of plasticity. Concept of forming strength and equivalent strain, flow curves. Conditions for the onset of plastic deformation, formability. Work of plastic deformation. Material structural aspects of plastic forming: dislocation theory cold and hot forming, static and dynamic recrystallization. Material models: elastic and plastic properties of materials. Classification of volume-forming technologies. Hot forming: forging, direct and indirect extrusion, and the role of rolling in the production of component blanks. Classification and characteristics of cold volume-forming technologies. Cold extrusion technology. Stress and strain states during cold extrusion, cold extrusion presses and tools. Forming in conical cavity. Rod drawing, reduction. Forward extrusion of solid and hollow bodies. Comparison of forward extrusion of hollow bodies and thinning deep drawing. Design and planning of forward, drawing, and reduction tools. Backward extrusion. Backward extrusion of thick- and thin-walled hollow bodies. Design and planning of backward extrusion tools, preload accommodation. Finite element techniques.

Generative AI usage

1st position: Use of GAI tools is not permitted for solving assignments. This means GAI tools cannot be used to complete formative or summative assessments, and using GAI constitutes academic misconduct. The use of AI tools for spelling and grammar checking does not fall under this prohibition.
