Sheet-metal forming is a process that uses a combination of stamping and rolling to create parts out of sheet metal. This process differs from rolling forging in that it uses a different type of tooling. The key difference between the two processes lies in how each tooling works
Rolling Forgin
Rolling forging is a method of forming metal using a continuous casting method. It typically involves a hammer or piston and dies, either internal or external, which are used to shape the material into desired shapes
Sheet-metal forming is similar to rolling forging except that it uses stamping instead of dies or hammers. Stamping tools are used on an anvil plate (or die) to form the desired part. This process allows for more precise control over the shape and thickness of each part, as well as greater flexibility than rolling forging can provide because various sizes can be created from one setup (depending on size range).
