Forming under tensile conditions<br />

Extending by stretching is a method <strong>of</strong> tensile forming by means <strong>of</strong> a tensile<br />

force applied along the longitudinal axis <strong>of</strong> the workpiece. Stretch<br />

forming is used to increase the workpiece dimension in the direction <strong>of</strong><br />

force application, for example to adjust to a prescribed length. Tensile<br />

test is also a pure stretching process. Straightening by stretching is the<br />

process <strong>of</strong> extending for straightening rods and pipes, as well as eliminating<br />

dents in sheet metal parts.<br />
