Summary:

A near-net forming process, FORMCAST, has been developed with the capability of forming components from ductile metals into complex three dimensional shapes. Excellent as-formed mechanical properties are achieved as the material is under constant, high pressure during the forming process generating significant levels of work hardening. FORMCAST shares characteristics with other conventional processes (id est, forming, casting, and extrusion), yet eliminates porosity, the need for draft angles, non-uniform material properties, excessive scrap, and shrinkage concerns.This paper will supply information to allow the comparison of FORMCAST to other processes. Items discussed will include the mechanics of the forming process, materials and that can be formed, as-formed material properties, characteristics, dimensional capabilities, and the process economics
