Recent development trends in metal forming

Abstract Major, recent developmental trends in the field of metal forming are presented in the paper both from experimental and numerical point of view. First, progress made in metal forming processes such as: rolling of long flat products, cross wedge rolling, open die forging, die forging, extrusion, drawing, and stamping are addressed. Then, the study provides information on the current trends in the application of numerical modeling in the field of metal forming. Presented discussion of the particular issues, is confronted with the authors’ own, recently elaborated, solutions.
