Principles and Mechanisms of Forging Processes in Material Modelling

This exam focuses on the principles and mechanisms inherent in forging processes, including closed-die forging, open-die forging, and their impact on material structure and mechanical properties.

Forging is a fundamental material processing technique that significantly enhances the mechanical properties of metals through deformation. A thorough understanding of this process ensures optimal performance characteristics in engineering applications.

Candidates will be evaluated on their ability to explain the mechanisms of forging, assess mechanical property changes, and relate these to application-specific requirements.

In preparing for this exam, students should evaluate real-world applications where forging processes have improved material performance and reliability.
