Some of the different techniques for shaping sheet and bulk metal to near-net shape are surveyed and the special features of these processes are discussed with a view to: i) identifying the modes of metal deformation involved in these processes and their limitations relating to failure, defects, etc.; ii) describing the associated design of dies and sizing of workpieces and/or preforms; iii) enumerating the influence of the plastic properties of the work material on these processes; and iv) minimising the cost of producing components having simple and intricate shapes, when compared with traditional manufacturing techniques.
