Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Discussing the latest trends in the metal forming, processing, and finishing industries, the proceedings of the April 2009 conference focuses on innovation in forming processes, high strength materials, and joining technologies. The 71 papers present recent research in hydroforming, joining, stamping, incremental forming, surface conditioning, modeling, material testing, drawing processes, and roll forming. The opening keynote speech investigates the forming potential of advanced high strength steels for structural car seat components. Other topics include enhanced formability of aluminum blanks by local heat treatment, melted polymer as a pressure medium in sheet metal forming, automating the design of cold roll forming tool sets, and preventing partial draw-in during high speed deep drawing.
