Maximizing reader insights into the latest research findings and applications of Electrically-Assisted Forming (EAF) - whereby metals are formed under an electric current field - this book explains how such a process produces immediate improved formability of metals beyond the extent of thermal softening, and allows metals to be formed to greater elongation with lower mechanical energy as well as allowing for lightweight brittle metals such as magnesium and titanium to be formed without external heating or annealing, enabling the more effective use of these lightweight metals in design....
