Applications of Electrically Assisted Manufacturing

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Electrically Assisted Forming

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Advanced Manufacturing ((SSAM))

Abstract

Within this book, a modeling strategy for the EAF technique is explained for both compression and tension. Both strategies separate the thermal softening effects from the direct electrical effects and thus produce temperature and force profiles for their respective processes. However, in the real world, manufacturing processes are rarely exclusively compression or tension. Therefore, within this chapter, manufacturing processes that can be applicable to EAF will be explained. These include bending, stretch forming, machining, friction stir welding, and miscellaneous other EAF-industrialization research by researchers other than the authors. In addition, this chapter will include experimental EAF findings for compression, tension, channel formation, springback, and various types of forming.
