What is deformation processing?

• Process to make parts without material


removal
• Deformation occurs on parts with L/D ≈1
• High volume

Examples of products

• Connecting rods
• Wire
• Bars
• Wi d

Process characteristics

• Material is deformed
– improvement of material properties
• grain refinement
• grain orientation
• work hardening
σ t = σ oε n

• Material is conserved
– minimal trimming and machining

Working temperature
Recrystallization temperature = 0.5 Tmelting (K)

• Cold: T < 0.4


0 4 Tmelting(K)
– strain hardening effect
– no strain rate effect

σ = Kε n

• Hot: T > 0.6 Tmelting(K)


– no strain hardeningg effect
