These presses can be either Mechanical or hydraulic presses which can be used for many sheet metal operations. Let us discuss the Different Operations Performed with Presses […]
What is Sheet Metals Press Working?
In sheets metal works, press working is a production technology of sheet metal components using machine presses. Mechanical and hydraulic press machines are also used for similar production technologies such as forging, extrusion and rolling. Let us discuss more details about Press working and the Die-punch assembly and their tools. Presses The machines used for […]
What is Wire Drawing, Tube Drawing and Making?
In metal works, Wire drawing and tube drawing is a stretching of a metal or plastic or even glass material to the desired shape in continuous products such as wires and tubes. Let us discuss more details about this metalworking process in detail. Wire Drawing Process Wire drawing is a simple process. In this process, […]
What is an Extrusion Process?
In metal works, Extrusion is a process in which the metal is subjected to plastic flow by enclosing the metal in a closed chamber in which the only opening provided is through a die. Let us discuss more details about the extrusion process such as different extrusion processes, extrusion defects and the machines used for […]
