Abstract

Electromagnetic high speed forming has been known since the 1960's and is successfully used for frictional connexions. In addition to joining, other applications of the process include coining, stamping and cutting. Regarding product quality and manufacturing costs, the process is superior to other methods and yet its utilisation can still be extended. The synopsis of the material's microstructure and properties owing to electromagnetic forming, which is given by this article, clarifies the processes from a materials science point of view. This will not only represent an academic view point but also provide insight into a potential expansion of the process to other areas of application.
