Forming process make use of suitable stresses like compression, tension, shear or combined stresses to cause plastic deformation of the materials to produce required shapes. In forming, no material is removed i.e. they are deformed and displaced.

'''Forming processprocesses''' are particular manufacturing processes which make use of suitable stresses (like compression, tension, shear or combined stresses) towhich cause [[plastic deformation]] of the materials to produce required shapes[[shape]]s. In forming, no material is removed i.e. they are deformed and displaced.

'''Some ofexamples theof forming processes are:

#* [[Forging]]

#* [[Extrusion]]

#* [[Rolling (metalworking) | Rolling]]

#* [[Sheet metal|Sheet metal working]]

#* [[Swaging#Rotary swaging|Rotary swaging]]

#* [[Thread rolling]]
