Cross wedge rolling (CWR) is an advanced metal forming process that employs a series of wedged tools to plastically deform a workpiece into near-net shape components. This process has become ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

Current projections call for a doubling of the commercial aircraft fleet over the next 20 years. To accommodate this, production rates in 2019 for composites-intensive widebody jetliners vary from 10 ...

Short cycle times and automated methods are key to meeting the high production rates being sought for the next generation of narrowbody commercial aircraft, advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned ...

There is a high chance that specific shapes and mechanical properties are required when sourcing an alloy product for an industrial, medical, or consumer application. This is where cold working ...

Most of us identify manufacturing processes by the equipment used. But manufacturing is also identified in a broader sense, by the way, the manufacturing is being accomplished. A single way a product ...

Manufacturing has the largest economic multiplier effect of all industries, integrating both ideas and technologies across multiple disciplines, and aiming for the creation of processes and systems ...

Changing the way a plant forms cellulose may lead to more efficient, less expensive biofuel production, according to Penn State engineers. "What every biofuel manufacturer wants to do is to get to the ...
