Forging and Hot Forming

Topics covered by this special edition include to: Development of new and optimization of existing forging and hot forming; mathematical description and parameterisation of flow, damage and fracture behaviour of new workpiece and tool materials; mathematical description and parameterisation of friction, heat transfer and wear in forging and rolling; development of numerical methods, formulations and algorithms for simulation of forging and rolling processes; validation of simulation models on industrial examples; computer-aided process control. Furthermore, the results of the Collaborative Research Centre 1153 on Tailored Forming are presented. This edition, without a doubt, will be of great benefit to the rich daily machinery engineers and researchers whose activities are related to metalworking.
