Hosford W.F., Caddell R.M. Metal Forming: Mechanics and Metallurgy

Cambridge University Press, 3 edition, 2007, 312 pages, ISBN-13 978-0-511-35453-3This book is designed to help the engineer understand the principles of metal forming and analyze forming problems – both the mechanics of forming processes and how the properties of metals interact with the processes. The first third of the book is devoted to fundamentals of mechanics and materials; the middle to analyses of bulk forming processes such as drawing, extrusion, and rolling; and the last third covers sheet forming processes. In this new third edition, an entire chapter has been devoted to forming limit diagrams; another to various aspects of stamping, including the use of tailor-welded blanks; and another to other sheet forming operations, including hydroforming of tubes. Sheet testing is covered in a later chapter. Coverage of sheet metal properties has been expanded to include new materials and more on aluminum alloys. Interesting end-of-chapter notes and references have been added throughout. More than 200 end-of-chapter problems are also included.Stress and Strain
