Short cycle times and automated methods are key to meeting the high production rates being sought for the next generation of narrowbody commercial aircraft, advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned ...

This article will describe three types, or ways, of manufacturing a product; additive, subtractive, and forming. What is Additive Manufacturing? Think of an artist painting a bear on a canvas. What is ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

The development of the gas oscillation forming process will allow manufacturers to Superplastic form metallic sheets (Aluminum, Titanium, and other aerospace alloys) into more geometrically complex ...
