Formability

Formability is the ability of a given metal workpiece to undergo plastic deformation without being damaged. The plastic deformation capacity of metallic materials, however, is limited to a certain extent, at which point, the material could experience tearing or fracture (breakage).

Processes affected by the formability of a material include: rolling, extrusion, forging, rollforming, stamping, and hydroforming.

Usage examples of "formability".

If iron content is excessive, iron aluminide crystals form, which have an undesirable effect on formability, fatigue resistance and surface finish.
