Summary

Summary

This book helps the engineer understand the principles of metal forming and analyze forming problems - both the mechanics of forming processes and how the properties of metals interact with the processes. The first third of the book is devoted to fundamentals of mechanics and materials; the middle to the analyses of bulk forming processes like drawing, extrusion, and rolling; and the last third covers sheet forming processes. In this new third edition, an entire chapter has been devoted to forming limit diagrams, and various aspects of stamping, including the use of tailor welded blanks, and another on other sheet forming operations, including hydroforming of tubes. Coverage of sheet metal properties has been expanded to include new materials and more on aluminium alloys. Interesting end-of-chapter notes have been added throughout as well as references. More than 200 end-of-chapter problems are also included.

Choice Review

The fourth edition of this work (3rd ed., 2007; 1st ed., 1983) provides expanded coverage of topics such as friction and lubrication, and the text has been significantly reorganized. Hosford and Caddell (both, Univ. of Michigan) concentrate on the mechanics of metal deformation in the first part of the book and an analysis of sheet forming processes in the second. However, the book does not provide detailed coverage of bulk deformation processes such as forging, rolling, and extrusion. It also does not review numerical modeling methods. There is very good coverage of the principals of mechanical metallurgy, including constitutive equations, the influence of deformation parameters on formability, and plastic anisotropy. The authors also devote chapters to deformation-zone geometry as well as plastic instability, thus addressing both process and material limitations. The number of sheet forming processes covered is very impressive. A discussion of classical stamping and ironing is followed by an analysis of a relatively new hydroforming process. Among the less known but extremely important industrial processes discussed are roll forming, incremental sheet forming, and hemming. The book ends with a review of formability tests and properties of sheet metal. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners. W. Z.
