This seminar covers metal forming and related manufacturing
processes, emphasizing practical applications. From forged or P/M
connecting rods to tailor-welded blank forming, metal parts are
integral to the automotive industry. As a high value adding category
of manufacturing, metal forming is increasingly important to the core
competency of automobile manufacturers and suppliers. A thorough
survey of metal forming processes and metal forming mechanics will
be performed, including bulk deformation, sheet-metal, and powder
metallurgy operations. Design considerations are fully integrated into
the course and are presented with every process. A large number of
real-world case studies are presented to the attendees to emphasize
course content.

Attendees will receive a copy of the book Manufacturing Engineering
Technology, co-written by instructor Steven R. Schmid.
