The purpose of this project is to determine the inherent limitations of sheet metal forming processes, to develop the knowledge to significantly advance these, and to recommend the mannere in which this can be accomplished. Principle areas of investigation are concerned with the effect that primary process variables such as velocity, temperature and pressure have on various classes of metals and alloys. This report presents the results of the experimental part of the program covering the first sixteen months. This experimental work was performed for tensil testing, free bulging of tubing and domes, and forming of parts with dies using a projectile impact tensile test fixture, low explosive-closed system, high explosive-open system, electrohydraulic open system, electromagnetic system, and conventional presses. In addition, high-pressure rubber forming was investigated, utilizing both static and impact presses in conjunction with heat.

The purpose of this project is to determine the inherent limitations of sheet metal forming processes, to develop the knowledge to significantly advance these, and to recommend the mannere in which this can be accomplished. In addition, this Forming Handbook has been compiled to give the principle applications and limitations of the major sheet-metal forming processesand materials. It is presented in three major sections: Material Purchasing Information, Conventional Forming and Advanced Methods of Forming. The first discusses availability, costs, chemical composition, heat treatment, and properites for a broad range of sheet metal alloys. Quantitative design limites are given in the Conventional Forming Section. The section on Advanced Methods of Forming presents the fundamentals for forming processes, such as explosive, capacitor discharge, combustible gas, high-pressure rubber and vibration.

This memorandum reproduces thirteen lectures delivered at a Titanium Symposium held on March 28-29, 1966, at Hawthorne, California, under the auspices of the Norair Division of the Northrop Corporation. These lectures follow a logical sequence of topics including production aspects, metallurgy, manufacturing technology, and the design of titanium parts for aircraft and aerospace applications.
