This book provides essential information on metal forming, utilizing a practical distinction between bulk and sheet metal forming. In the field of bulk forming, it examines processes of cold, warm and hot bulk forming, as well as rolling and a new addition, the process of thixoforming. As for the field of sheet metal working, on the one hand it deals with sheet metal forming processes (deep drawing, flange forming, stretch drawing, metal spinning and bending). In terms of special processes, the chapters on internal high-pressure forming and high rate forming have been revised and refined.

The future of manufacturing companies depends largely on their ability to adapt to swiftly changing global conditions. 

Depuis quelques années, les observations d’ovnis de forme triangulaire sont en nette augmentation. Parmi elles, les témoins décrivent de mystérieux « triangles noirs ». Suite à ces très nombreuses observations, des questions urgentes s’imposent à nous : D’où viennent ces engins ? Par qui sont-ils pilotés ? Quelles technologies utilisent-ils ? Pourquoi survolent-ils notre territoire avec insistance ? Quelles sont leurs intentions envers les populations ? Cette sorte de « surveillance » permanente obéit-elle à un plan, et si oui, lequel ? 

Machining for Hobbyists is for do-it-yourselfers and hobbyists who want to set up or expand a small machine shop in their garage, basement, shed or perhaps in a rented space. With their own shop, hobbyists can build models and undertake other building and maintenance projects that involve using different metals. Working in metal requires skills, knowledge, and equipment that are unlike other hobbies.  

This book is the third in the Woodhead Publishing Reviews: Mechanical Engineering Series, and includes high quality articles (full research articles, review articles and case studies) with a special emphasis on research and development in machining and machine-tools. Machining and machine tools is an important subject with application in several industries.
