Theoretical aspects and eco-technique of forming

Main goals of plane and bulk forming and characteristics of basic forming processes. Definition of basic terms and values in forming, ways of imposed strain expression. Stress states, crystal lattice, dislocation shearing systems and most important mechanisms of plastic deformation. Theoretical background of plastic forming of chosen steels and non-ferrous alloys under cold and hot conditions, work hardening, flow stress. Softening processes during material forming. Specific aspects of cast structures forming. Material aspects of forming. Application potential of eco-technical forming. Formability tests.
