Abstract
The microstructures and properties of industrial metals can be controlled by bulk deformation processes. First, the fundamentals of rolling and forging for microstructure control are explained. Current efforts to reduce the fuel consumption of transportation systems focus on weight reduction. This can be achieved through the use of lighter parts. The replacement parts may be made of (a) low-density materials, (b) porous materials, or (c) hollow structured materials. They should be stronger and stiffer than the original parts. The new parts require higher specific strengths (strength/density). Therefore, weight reduction and strengthening are important. In this chapter, three approaches are investigated by the authors: (1) the forming of magnesium alloys, (2) the forming of porous metals, (3) a new forming method using the servo press.
