Difference between bulk forming process and sheet metal process

Bulk Forming Process Sheet Metal Process

Bulk deformation is a metal forming Sheet metal forming is a type of metal

operation in which there is a significant forming in which the operations are

change takes place by the means of plastic conducted in the specific geometry of the

deformation in metallic. piece of sheet which undergoes modification

dependent upon the addition of a force.

These areas are very specific with respect to The area of the volume to ratio is a work

the volume ratio to the work piece which is piece is quiet low

quiet high.

It can be in the form of billet, slab or rod Its initial shape is sheet.

It increase the area to volume ratio There is a no significant increase in area to

volume ratio.

It is appreciable to change the shape and cross Changes the shape which will significantly

sectional area. but there is no more change in the cross

section

There is a permanent plastic deformation The permanent plastic has deformation and

which is high then the elastic deformation elastic deformation are quiet comparable
