Friction and Wear in Metal Forming

Friction and Wear in Metal Forming
Editors:
Dr. Javad Hazrati
Online since:
April 2026
Description:
In metal forming, friction, lubrication, and wear are of utmost importance. On that account, for optimum process design, improving formability and enhancing tool life, a better understanding and an accurate prediction of friction/wear in forming processes are necessary. In this special issue, different aspects of tribology in cold/hot sheet metal forming, forging and rolling are discussed. The book will be helpful to specialists in metal forming technologies.

Extrusion and Drawing

Extrusion and Drawing
Editors:
Prof. Lorenzo Donati
Online since:
April 2026
Description:
The special issue considers some aspects of metal extrusion and drawing technologies. Articles cover experimental and theoretical achievements on the development and optimisation of these technologies. Analysis of mechanical properties and the occurrence of microstructural defects, as well as forecasting technological parameters, are also related to this issue, etc. This issue will be useful for many specialists in metallurgy and materials processing.

Composites Forming Processes

Composites Forming Processes
Editors:
Luise Kärger and Prof. Pierpaolo Carlone
Online since:
April 2026
Description:
The widespread use of composite materials, given relatively low development and manufacturing costs, creates significant demand for scientific knowledge and computational tools for their manufacturing. The mechanical behaviour of composite parts in service is dominated by fiber orientation and density, which in turn are determined by the forming process. Hence, predicting in-service performance requires a full understanding of, and preferably a prediction of, the complex material behaviour during manufacturing. The presented special edition will be helpful to researchers and practitioners who work with composite materials.
