2 Basic principles <strong>of</strong> metal forming<br />

2.1 Methods <strong>of</strong> forming and cutting technology<br />

2.1.1 Summary<br />

As described in DIN 8580, manufacturing processes are classified into<br />

six main groups: primary shaping, material forming, dividing, joining,<br />

modifying material property and coating (Fig.2.1.1).<br />

Primary shaping is the creation <strong>of</strong> an initial shape from the molten,<br />

gaseous or formless solid state. Dividing is the local separation <strong>of</strong> material.<br />

Joining is the assembly <strong>of</strong> individual workpieces to create subassemblies<br />

and also the filling and saturation <strong>of</strong> porous workpieces.<br />

Coating means the application <strong>of</strong> thin layers on components, for example<br />

by galvanization, painting and foil wrapping. The purpose <strong>of</strong> modifying<br />

material property is to alter material characteristics <strong>of</strong> a workpiece<br />
