Metal Forming: Advanced Techniques and Applications

This lecture covers advanced metal forming techniques and applications, including non-linear absorption, micromanufacturing, tuning of opto-mechanical resonance, and the combination of metal and femtosecond laser glass 3D machining. It explores the properties of metals, such as thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, ductility, and strain hardening. The lecture also delves into the concept of defects in materials due to plastic deformation, the influence of mechanical hardening on microstructures, and various methods for reducing spring-back in metal forming processes.
