Hot Forming in the Automotive Industry
This book was originally written in German by the authors from Thyssen-Krupp Steel Europe AG. and was translated into English following the success of the German edition.
In this book the substance and development of hot press forming is described with particular emphasis on the automotive industry. Finally, a future outlook of hot forming technology is also given.
Advances in Metal Forming
This comprehensive book offers a clear account of the theory and applications of advanced metal forming and highlights the recent developments in metal forming technologies including formability analysis, mathematical modelling and case studies of individual processes.

The global IDDRG community has, like all other communities, been affected by the COVID19 crisis. The annual IDDRG conference 2020 (IDDRG 2020) was planned to be held in Busan, South Korea, on 7-11 June 2020. However, due to the Corona situation and thanks to the enormous efforts by the Korean colleagues, the successful IDDRG 2020 was held virtually on 26-30 October 2020. The executive committee of IDDRG has therefore discussed the annual conference schedule for the coming years. This schedule has now been modified after discussions with and based on the suggestions from the organizers of the IDDRG conferences 2021-2023. After many considerations and conversations with the members of the IDDRG community in different countries, a new schedule was outlined. We would like to inform that- IDDRG 2021 will be held virtually on 21 June – 2 July 2021. Professor Mathias Liewald, Universität Stuttgart, will organize this conference. Please visit www.iddrg2021.uni-stuttgart.de for more information. We also refer to the coming separate communication from Professor Liewald and Universität Stuttgart, Germany.
- IDDRG 2022 will be held in-person in June 2022 in Lorient, France. Professor Pierre-Yves Manach, Université Bretagne Sud, will organize this conference.
We look forward to the support of the global IDDRG community for the coming virtual IDDRG 2021 organized by Stuttgart, Germany, and the in-person IDDRG 2022 in Lorient, France. The Executive Committee of the International Deep Drawing Research Group (IDDRG) January 8, 2021
IDDRG 2021 Stuttgart, Germany
The 40th IDDRG Conference will be held on June 21. - July 2., 2021 as an online event. The conference main title is “Digital Technologies in Sheet Metal Forming“ and organized by the Institute for Metal Forming Technology at the University of Stuttgart. The aim of the conference is to bring together industry and academia in an online event due to pandemic conditions. Beyond the foregrounded topic all technical aspects of sheet metal forming are included, such as behavior of sheet materials, formability, tools, tribology, process robustness, simulation methods and experiments.
