Trainings in plastic
forming processes

Plastic forming – a method of forming metals and their alloys through mechanical deformation; the workpiece is reshaped without adding or removing material, and its mass remains unchanged.

The shaping process may be performed in several ways:

• Hot forming
• Semi-hot forming
• Cold forming

Due to the type of deformation, we distinguish:

• Extrusion – applicable for sheet metal and belts that change the shape without changes in thickness
• Rolling – the material is pressed by the rollers
• Forging – the materials is shaped using a hammer, swaging machine or press
• Sealing – the material is in positioned in a container called recipient and shaped using the matrix
• Drawing – the material is drawn through a die

Objectives:

• Learning the methods of plastic forming and relevant fields of application
• Familiarizing the tools used in plastic forming processes of metals and their alloys
• Acquiring the skills of designing engineering processes with the use of plastic forming methods
