Dynamic testing of materials is necessary to model high-speed forming processes (i.e. hammer forging, blanking) and crash/impact behavior of structures, among others. The most common machines to perform medium to high-speed ...

Near solidus forming (NSF) of steels is a novel process under the umbrella of semi-solid forming technologies midway between classical hot forging and semi-solid technologies. This article presents the work done at Mondragon ...
