History of Forming Technology I

Antique: Bending gold and silver, embossing coins, forging (hammering) objects
of all kinds "Disc of Nebra"
Bronze with gold,
Egyptian gold forger around 1600 BC
around 5000 BC (found 1999 in
Nebra, Germany)

800 BC: Early Iron Age in Central Europe. Due to the higher hardness and
strength of the iron it replaced the bronze in many areas.
Middle Ages: First forging machines, screw presses and drop hammers
15th - 16th century: Rolling of tin and lead sheets, spinning

Forging plant (middle age) Rolling plant (1615) Spinning plant


2020-21 Sami Chatti BF L01 Introduction to Metal Forming 1.11

History of Forming Technology II

Industrialisation:
18th cent.:Thanks discovering of the steam-engine in 1712, construction of
forging machines, forging of larger workpieces, rolling of iron sheets
Extrusion of lead and non-ferrous metals
1850: First sheet metal working machine
1870: Double-acting deep drawing press
1950: Extrusion of steel
Rolling plant, 1888 Ford T-Model (first serial production in 1914)
Cylinder capacity: 2900 ccm
Power: 22.5 PS (horse power)

Classification of Forming Processes into Sheet
Metal Forming and Bulk Forming

Bulk forming Sheet metal forming

• Rolling / Profile rolling • Die bending / Folding


• Upsetting / Forging • Stretch drawing
• Bar extrusion • Deep drawing

 Many process variants have been developed


from the common methods

Definition of Metal Forming

Metal Forming:
Manufacturing of a product through a permanent change of the
shape, whereby the mass and the material connectivity do not
change.

Bulk forming: Sheet forming:


• Forming of components with • Forming of sheet
full and tubular cross sections components
• Intended change of cross • No intended change of
sections sheet thickness
• Usually hot forming • Usually cold forming

• Blank balanced in all three directions • Blank in the thickness direction
• Material flow in all directions much smaller
• Often multiaxial compressive stress • Workpiece: hollow body with
states approximately constant wall
• Greater forming forces than sheet thickness

• Much older than sheet metal forming • Mostly biaxial stress states:
