Guidelines of the design for manufacturability (DfM) hardly regard neither specific positive
effects nor additional functional convenience achievable by specific manufacturing …

Due to the new mass forming process “linear flow splitting” forming of branched profiles in
integral style out of sheet metal without joining, lamination of material or heating of the semi …

The deformation behavior of a ferrite steel with ultrafine‐grained (UFG) lamellar
microstructure generated by linear flow splitting is investigated and compared to a coarser …

Linear flow splitting is a new cold forming process for the production of branched sheet
metal structures in integral style. It induces extremely high deformation degrees without …

The microstructures of ultrafine grained (UFG) metals processed by severe plastic
