5. Presentation of the section

The "Metal forming and foundry" section covers all these issues, and is subdivided into five main sections.

Metal forming: mechanical and thermal aspects

This section includes articles describing the plasticity of metals at hot and cold temperatures, the mechanical analysis of forming processes and the thermal effects of forming. It concludes with an article on induction heating in metal processing and an article on the weldability of metallic materials, both of which describe the reaction of metal to high temperatures.

Forming steels, aluminium, other metals and alloys

This section contains articles describing the main forming processes for steels, aluminum alloys, zinc and its alloys, titanium alloys, and refractory steels and alloys....
