What is Metal Forming?
Metal forming is one of the most widespread and vital manufacturing processes in today’s society. During this process, materials are physically deformed through a variety of techniques. At its core, it involves applying forces that exceed the material’s yield strength, which results in strain hardening.
Metal forming is an umbrella term that encompasses all manufacturing processes that involve forming and reshaping solid metal into a desired shape. These processes can occur when the material is above its recrystallization temperature (hot working) or below its recrystallization temperature (cold working), depending on the specific part and production specifications. The shape of the material (i.e., whether its surface area to volume ratio is high or low) also affects the process and equipment used for the forming operation.
Advantages of Precision Metal Forming Process
- Speed: Parts can be formed in as little as one day
- Precision: Tolerances can be held as tight as +/- 0.001” (0.025mm)
- Cost: Tooling cost is minimal
- Flexibility: Multi-station tooling allows geometries not otherwise achievable with progressive dies
- Reliability: All parts are made to Elimold’s exacting quality and craftsmanship standards
- Growth: Short prototype runs can smoothly transition to mass production runs
