Course Description:
​The course deals with manufacturing of metallic products by metal forming and casting.
Design of metal formed and cast components.
General metal forming theory: Technological tests, flow stress, friction, thermal conditions.
Analysis of different metal forming processes with main focus on extrusion, forging, wiredrawing and rolling. Casting methods, permanent and expendable molds. Casting of iron, steel and light metals. Melt flow, solidification, heat transfer, contraction, thermal stresses. Correct design of molds based on knowledge of characteristics of casting processes.
​
Learning Objectives:

• Knowledge:

The students acquire knowledge about shaping and casting metals into useful products as final parts or wrought products, for instance in terms of castings or extruded profiles. They are taught by classical theory and modern FEM-analysis how to study the process conditions in metal forming and casting operations. Through an analysis approach you learn to determine optimum conditions in industrial applications of the processes.

• Skills:

The students gain theoretical and practical skills related to metal forming and casting so in future work they can design products for ease of manufacture. Practical skills in laboratory work are acquired. The students learn how to use modern data assisted methods for optimizing metal forming and casting processes on the concept stage before manufacture of a part.

• General competence:

In the course you acquire general competence regarding casting and metal forming technologies. More specifically you learn to judge what optimum conditions are when such manufacturing methods are used. The competence acquired can be described by the key words: Design of components in metal forming and casting, understanding the physics of casting and metal forming, metallurgy and mechanics of metal forming and casting, methods used, important alloys for the purpose.
