Interagency Metal Forming Working Group: minutes of the first meeting

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5959292
These minutes summarize the first official meeting of the Interagency Metal Forming Working Group (IMFWG), a new organization comprised of individuals who are actively interested in improving our understanding of metal forming technology and its implementation within the DOE/MA complex. IMFWG is intended to provide a forum for the interchange of metal forming technology among the design laboratories and the manufacturing facilities. The central thrust of this interchange is the use of computer tools and analytical techniques for optimizing metal forming processes. At this first meeting, personnel from the plants and design labs shared their needs and capabilities for metal forming analysis. Based upon this interchange, ground work was laid for a range of activities centered around advances in metal forming technology. Presentations on material modeling, finite element analysis, and measurement of material properties were given in three sessions. Organizational issues were discussed and a charter was adopted.
