Course detail

Selected Chapters of Metal-forming

FSI-HVTAcad. year: 2024/2025

The course provides information from the areas of strength design and dimensioning of metal-forming tools. The second part includes the theory and technology of metal-forming by high strain rates and energies. This specialized instruction includes, among other things, combined reforging, impact indentation, bulk renovation of machine parts and tools, high-rate die forging, explosive, electrohydraulic and electromagnetic metal forming. Also dealt with are cavity shooting, application of explosion energy, dynamic compacting of metallic and non-metallic powders. Modelling of high strain-rate processes is demonstrated. In the third part, students are confronted with the latest results of research.

Entry knowledge

Successful completion of the course is conditional on the knowledge of applied mathematics and physics, materials science, elasticity, strength, plasticity, and examination of the subject the theory of metal-forming.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended all laboratory exercises and worked out partial written programs.
The exam has a written and an oral part, based on a set of lot-drawn questions.
Attendance in lectures is recommended.
Attendance in exercises is compulsory.
The attendance to the seminar is regularly checked and the participation in the lesson is recorded.
Absence from laboratory exercises is compensated for via make-up topics of exercises and consultations.

Aims

The objective of the course is to provide the students with the necessary knowledge and information from the field of metal forming that they could not acquire in the course of studying special subjects so far.
Students majoring in metal forming will have an overview of the methods and selected calculation models for dimensioning metal-forming tools. They will be made familiar with the theory and technologies of high strain-rate metal-forming methods, as well as with the latest knowledge in the field.
