Abstract

Sheet-bulk metal forming as a new class of manufacturing processes is one of the possible answers production processes provide to the increasing demands on functional integration into light weight parts made of high strength steel. Research in this field is carried out in several places. The special issue was initiated by the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre 73. It contains newest results from this research initiative as well as international results in the field of sheet-bulk metal forming.
