Introduction

Metal forming laboratory is one of the mandatory laboratories of undergraduate students. Therefore, two or three training courses are offered each semester in this laboratory. These tests include rolling, extrusion, pressure, wire traction, sheet traction, obtaining FLD curves, etc. It is also the site of various research projects at the undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels of this laboratory.

Research Areas

- Metal Forming and Formability
- Mechanical Properties of Materials
- Investigation of Nano Microstructure using ARB, ECAP, ECAE, ECAR
- Cladding, Extrusion, Rolling, Wire Drawing and Forging
- Metal Flow Pattern Simulation
- TWB, Hydroforming and Thixo-Forming
