Warm forming of aluminium: manufacturing of a demonstrator
Warm forming of aluminium requires different knowledge than that usually applied in the traditional activity of sheet metal forming. This is why companies who consider entering such a project need to know the following:
· The general specific features of this technique (heating, tooling);
· The necessary steps to implement the technique;
· The particular points which may involve manufacturing problems;
· The necessary investments and the targeted productivity.
A demonstrator was made to help professionals of this industrial sector.
