Description: The 29th International ESAFORM Conference on Material Forming (ESAFORM 2026, Thessaloniki, Greece, from 27 to 29 April 2026) is a joint scientific event of the oldest and most prestigious Mechanical Engineering academic schools in Greece, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the National Technical University of Athens, respectively. The conference publication contains sixteent chapters the topicaly related with 16 Mini-Symposia around the following topics: additive manufacturing, composites forming processes, extrusion and drawing, forging and rolling, formability of metallic materials, friction and wear in metal forming, incremental and sheet metal forming, innovative joining by forming technologies, optimization and inverse analysis in forming, machining, cutting and severe plastic deformation, material behaviour modelling, new and advanced numerical strategies for material forming, non-conventional processes, polymer processing and thermo-mechanical properties, sustainability in material forming, and advanced metal casting. The edition will be useful for a wide range of specialists in structural materials forming processes.

Description: This special edition presents a collection of contributions addressing the formability of metallic materials, with particular attention to their capacity to undergo plastic deformation while minimising damage and defects in the final product. The mechanisms influencing forming processes, such as plastic flow localisation, fracture, and springback, are presented among other phenomena of interest. The contributions encompass experimental, theoretical, and numerical investigations aimed at advancing understanding of the interplay among material properties, mechanical and thermal loading conditions, and other environmental constraints that govern the formability of metallic materials. The edition will be of interest to many specialists in mechanical engineering.

Description: In metal forming, friction, lubrication, and wear are of utmost importance. On that account, for optimum process design, improving formability and enhancing tool life, a better understanding and an accurate prediction of friction/wear in forming processes are necessary. In this special issue, different aspects of tribology in cold/hot sheet metal forming, forging and rolling are discussed. The book will be helpful to specialists in metal forming technologies.

Description: This book presents selected peer-reviewed contributions from the international conference Metallography; Fractography 2025, held in April 2025 in the High Tatra Mountains, the Slovak Republic. The conference aims to provide a forum for discussing recent advances in metallography, fractography, and materials science and engineering. The book covers traditional metallic materials, as well as modern and advanced materials and related technologies. Emphasis is placed on experimental methods, microstructural characterisation, and analysis of the relationship between processing, structure, and properties. The proceedings also aim to promote international collaboration and knowledge exchange between academia, research institutions, and industry.
