Some Viewpoints of Materials Forming Technology

J. Kliber, VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava, Faculty of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Czech Republic Metal forming can be regarded as a process during which materials are treated by “force” and “heating” under a certain external load and boundary condition (loading mode, rate of loading, constraint condition, geometry, contact friction condition, temperature field). As well as in former times and presently from time to time detect overview lecture and articles, which have for one‘s object draw up demand on modern forming technologies one’s about new wave in the area like: shortening processes, flexibilization, integrating production processes, hollow structure technology and simulation and optimization. New metal forming technologies may be developed using new energy resources, new forming mediums and new loading methods for developing new products according to the needs of the automotive, electrical, electronic and aerospace industries. Some cases of these technologies will be presented inside of volume of this contribution.
