Effect of Punch Surface Grooves on Microformability of AA6063 Backward Microextrusion

In order to apply conventional forming processes at the micro scale, the size effects caused by material properties and frictional effects must be taken into account. In this research, the effects of tool surface properties such as punch surface grooves on microextrudability, assessed using extrusio...
