In the paper the description of the project TITAFORM is provided. The project has been financed on the call "PON Linea 1" of the Italian government and represents an effective example of cooperation between academy and industry. The project is focused on the beta forging and hot stretch forming operations of titanium alloys. �� 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
Enhancing formability of aluminium alloys by superimposing hydrostatic pressure
2003
Publisher Summary One of the strategic topics in manufacturing engineering is represented by the reduction of components weight. This aim is pursued by utilizing accurate and effective design tools and using lightweight metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and titanium alloys. Unfortunately, such materials often show a poor ductility, and thus enhancing formability is nowadays one of the most relevant research focus, as well as the development of effective and reliable predictive models of defects insurgence during forming processes. In this scenario, forming by means of superimposed hydrostatic pressure represents a promising alternative manufacturing technique. The chapter discusses the si…
