2Flow forming — is a metal forming technique in which a disk or tube of metal is formed over a mandrel by a roller using tremendous pressure. The roller shears the metal, forcing it against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the final product. [… …
3Incremental sheet forming — (or ISF) is a sheet metal forming technique where a sheet is formed into the final workpiece by a series of small incremental deformations. Generally, the sheet metal is formed by a round tipped tool, typically 5 to 20mm in diameter. The tool,… …
4Explosive forming — is a metalworking technique in which an explosive charge is used instead of a punch or press. It can be used on materials for which a press setup would be prohibitively large or require an unreasonably high pressure, and is generally much cheaper …
5Electromagnetic forming — A pinched aluminium can, produced from a pulsed magnetic field created by rapidly discharging 2 kilojoules from a high voltage capacitor bank into a 3 turn coil of heavy gauge wire. Electromagnetic forming (EM forming or magneforming) is a type… …
6Double counting (proof technique) — In combinatorics, double counting, also called counting in two ways, is a combinatorial proof technique for showing that two expressions are equal by demonstrating that they are two ways of counting the size of one set. In this technique, which… …
7Ceramic forming techniques — are ways of forming ceramic shapes. This can be used to make everyday tableware from teapots, to engineering ceramics such as computer parts. Methods for forming powders of ceramic raw materials into complex shapes are desirable in many areas of… …
8Fold-forming — is a technique of metalworking whereby metal is folded, repeatedly forged and annealed, and unfloded; at which stage it generally has a dramatic new three dimensional form.The technique was invented in the late 1980s by Charles Lewton Brain, an… …
9Classical guitar technique — This article is about the Contemporary classical guitar technique. For the baroque guitar technique see Baroque guitar and for the romantique guitar technique, see Romantic guitar. The classical guitar technique is a fingerstyle technique used by …
10Literary technique — A literary technique (also, literary device, procedure or method) is any element or the entirety of elements a writer intentionally uses in the structure of their work.[1] It can be for example an identifiable rule of thumb, a convention, a… …
