Ductility and Formability of Metals 1st Edition

Capture the mechanics behind every bend, stretch, and stretch-to-break with Ductility and Formability of Metals — 1st Edition by Giovanni Straffelini. This authoritative volume delivers a clear, modern exploration of ductility and formability fundamentals tailored for materials scientists, metallurgists, and manufacturing engineers.

Begin with a concise, rigorous presentation of the physical principles that govern plastic deformation and fracture in metals, then progress to practical testing methods and industrially relevant formability assessments. Straffelini’s text bridges theory and application: it highlights how microstructure, temperature, strain rate, and processing influence metal behavior during sheet forming, forging, and extrusion.

Engineered for usability, the book supports decision-making in design and production. Whether you’re developing lighter automotive components, optimizing stamped parts, or modeling forming processes, you’ll find guidance that sharpens your analysis and reduces trial-and-error. The writing is technical yet accessible, emphasizing actionable insight for research and shop-floor implementation.

Globally relevant and industry-focused, this edition is ideal for postgraduate students, R&D professionals, and practicing engineers across metallurgy and materials engineering sectors in Europe, North America, and Asia. It’s an essential reference for anyone who needs to predict, measure, and improve metal performance in manufacturing environments.
