Customer ServiceFrom Fig. 4 it can be seen that the number of publications about explosive forming slowly increased from 1961, before the authors were born, to 1972, after which time they decreased dramatically [8] g. 7 indicates that although explosive forming was the dominant process, variants evolved as different energy sources were investigated.
Customer Service3703.03.02. The main difference between the Cyril-Bath process and stretch forming lies in the third process step, in which the gripping jaws are moved in a controlled manner. Due to this controlled movement of the gripping jaws, the stress applied to the blank through the jaws can be kept constant or even reduced.

Customer ServiceAbstract. Deep-drawing and stretch-forming processes make up a considerable proportion of metal-forming operations, and have deservedly received much attention. Although they are often thought of as mutually complementary, we should remember that whereas stretch forming may well be decisive in the success or failure of a deep …
Customer Service10/1. Stretch Forming. Sheet metal is stretched and simultaneously bent to achieve shape change. • The shape is produced entirely by tensile stretching so the limiting strain is that at necking. • It can be thought of as a uniaxial tensile stress condition.
Customer Servicethickness. Stretching the metal causes it to become thinner. The advantage of such a process is that only a single punch needs to be used to stretch a sheet which is clamped using a number of clamps as shown in Fig 15.3. An example of stretch drawing is
