This book is intended to serve as core text or handy reference on two key areas of metallic materials: (i) mechanical behaviour and properties evaluated by mechanical testing; and (ii) different types of metal working or forming operations to produce useful shapes. The book consists of 16 chapters which are divided into two parts. The first part contains nine chapters which describe static uniaxial tension (including elastic stress - strain relation and relevant theory of plasticity), static compression, hardness test, static bending, torsion - pure shear, impact test and transition temperature, creep and stress rupture, fatigue, and fracture. The second part is composed of seven chapters and covers mechanical working, forging, rolling, extrusion, drawing of flat strips, round bars, and tubes, deep drawing, and high-energy rate forming. The book is written in an easy-to-understand manner and includes several solved problems. The mathematical analyses are well elaborated without skipping any intermediate steps. The book comprises an exhaustive description of all aspects of mechanical behavior of metals and metal working. The book can be used to teach graduate and undergraduate courses offered to students of mechanical, aerospace, production, manufacturing and metallurgical engineering disciplines. The book can also be used for professional training and development courses in the metallurgy and metallic manufacturing industries.
