What is flow stress?
The instantaneous value of stress required to continue deforming the material.
What happens to the strength of most metals at room temperature when deformed?
It increases due to strain hardening.

How can the average flow stress during deformation be calculated?
By integrating the flow stress over the strain range and dividing by the strain range.
What is the flow stress calculation based on the given solution?
Flow stress = 850(0.451)^0.30 = 669.4 MPa.
How is the average flow stress calculated?
Average flow stress = 850(0.451)^0.30 / 1.30 = 514.9 MPa.

Temperature.
How are strength and strain hardening affected at higher temperatures?
Both are reduced.
What happens to ductility at higher temperatures?
It is increased.
What are the three temperature ranges in metal forming?
Cold working, warm working, and hot working.
What is strain rate sensitivity?
The occurrence of strain rate sensitivity, especially at elevated temperatures, in hot working.
How is strain rate defined?
Strain rate is defined as the true strain rate, where h is the instantaneous height of the workpiece being deformed and v is the velocity of the ram or other movement of the equipment.
What does the variable ‘C’ represent in the equation?
The strength constant (similar but not equal to strength coefficient in flow curve equation).
What does the variable ‘m’ represent in the equation?
The strain-rate sensitivity exponent.
What does Figure 18.6 illustrate?
The effect of temperature on flow stress for a typical metal.
What does the constant ‘C’ in Eq. (18.4) represent?
It decreases with increasing temperature.
What does the slope ‘m’ of each plot indicate?
It increases with increasing temperature.
What is open-die forging?
It involves compressing the work between two flat dies, allowing metal to flow laterally without constraint.
What is impression-die forging?
It involves die surfaces containing a cavity or impression that is imparted to the workpart, thus constraining metal flow and creating flash.
What is flashless forging?
It involves the workpart being completely constrained in the die, and no excess flash is produced.
What is the purpose of an upset forging operation?
To form a head on a bolt or similar hardware item.
What are the steps involved in an upset forging cycle?
1) Wire stock is fed to the stop. 2) Gripping dies close on the stock and the stop is retracted. 3) Punch moves forward. 4) Bottoms to form the head.
What is the final height of the part after hot upset forging?
The final height of the part needs to be determined.
What is the maximum force in the hot upset forging operation?
The maximum force in the operation needs to be determined.
What is the formula for calculating volume (V) of the given shape?
V = πDo^2ho/4
What is the formula for calculating final height (hf) of the given shape?
hf = V/Af

ε = ln(50/12.5)
What is the formula for calculating force (F) in the given scenario?
F = 1.64(85)(1963.5)

A deformation process in which work thickness is reduced by compressive forces
What is rolling in the context of manufacturing processes?
A deformation process in which work thickness is reduced by compressive forces exerted by two opposing rolls.
