Wire industry processes

Aluminum and copper metal forming processes have their own unique challenges.On the one hand, both materials have high formability thanks to their FCC structure high ductility and numerous slip systems — which is ideal for drawing, rolling, and extrusion.

But on the other hand, in practice, they behave completely differently. Temperature sensitivity, the influence of strain rate, and recrystallization — all of these factors are of great importance. Furthermore, aluminum and copper differ in density, melting point, forming stresses, and coefficient of friction.

QForm UK captures these differences through calibrated material models, enabling precise and reliable predictions.
