Summary

The production of the vast majority of metallic objects at some stage involves one of these four deformation processes:

  • Rolling
  • Extrusion
  • Forging
  • Drawing

The intention of this TLP is to introduce these four processes and to provide a brief description of their strengths, limitations and suitability for various applications.
