Micro metal forming

Více o knize

Micro Metal Forming focuses on the creation of parts and features with dimensions below 1 mm, representing a burgeoning area within metal forming technologies that pushes the boundaries of micro technology. Key challenges include reduced geometrical sizes and increased lot sizes. To facilitate the application of micro metal forming in production, the text covers several critical topics: - **Tribological Behavior**: Examining friction between tool and workpiece, as well as tool wear. - **Mechanical Behavior**: Discussing the strength and formability of materials, and the durability of small workpieces. - **Size Effects**: Describing how quantitative relationships between features change with decreasing size. - **Process Windows and Limits**: Outlining the constraints for forming processes. - **Tool Making Methods**: Exploring techniques for creating tools suited for micro forming. - **Numerical Modeling**: Addressing the modeling of processes and process chains. - **Quality Assurance and Metrology**: Ensuring the reliability and precision of micro-formed parts. Each topic is addressed in relation to the specific challenges of micro metal forming, drawing from current research and the early history of this technology. This resource is designed for students, scientists, and engineers in the industry who have a background in metal forming and wish to deepen their understanding of miniaturization.
