ASM HB, Vol 14A: Metalworking: Bulk Forming

Semiatin (Air Force Research Laboratory, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate) collects recent work detailing bulk forming methods (such as forging, extrusion, drawing, and rolling), where three-dimensional deformation produces a new shape with significant change in the cross- section of thickness of a material. In addition to content from previous editions of the ASM Handbook series, this edition includes chapters on new processes and materials, improved microstructural control via specialized thermomechanical processing, and advanced tools for predicting microstructure and texture evolution. There is also a new section on forging design. Annotation © 2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
