Shearing cuts the material using a punch and a die. Blanking punches out a flat piece to be used as a workpiece, while piercing removes a scrap slug to leave a hole in the final part. Bending and Deep Drawing Joining and Fastening Processes 13

Instead of being pushed, the wire or rod is pulled through a tapering die to reduce its diameter, critical for producing electrical wiring and cables. 4. Sheet-Metal Forming Processes Blanking punches out a flat piece to be

Melting thermoplastic pellets and forcing them into a mold cavity. It is the dominant method for mass-producing complex plastic parts.

As a textbook, the 6th edition employs several effective learning tools. Each chapter opens with clear objectives and closes with a summary organized by key concept. The —for example, manufacturing analysis of a connecting rod or a beverage can—bridge theory to industrial practice. Design considerations are highlighted throughout, reminding students that manufacturability must be considered at the drawing board. The end-of-chapter problems range from quantitative (calculate forging force) to open-ended (select a process for a given part with competing constraints). The extensive reference lists point to both classic papers and recent journal articles, encouraging deeper exploration. High-quality line diagrams and micrographs are used consistently; the cross-sectional views of dies and tools are particularly clear.
