Forming Equipments
MFRL own few forming equipments use to perform various forming processes mainly to produce formed parts for further analysis or to test their performance.
1) 100 Tonner Mechanical Press Machine - C Type
2) 15 Tonne Hydraulic Press Brake (Manual)
3) Hydraulic Machine (Semi-Auto)
Forming and Material Testing (Available)
For further analysis, there are few test rig available in the MFRL including V-bending rig to study the springback pattern, twist forming for measurement of twist springback, pin-on hole bearing test, torque out test and cupping test. We are in the process of developing few other test rig including dome test for formability study.
Measurement/Testing Facilities (Shared Facilities)
There are also shared measurement/testing facilties at the School of Mechanical Engineering.

POSTDOCTORAL
In enhancing student understanding of the metal forming process, they have been brought to the metal forming laboratory for demonstration. The students were split into four groups and they ask to prepare a short report from their visit. The tooling and product are as shown in figures below.
Congratulation to all students who give 100% commitment and put an effort to make sure their objectives in the tooling design achieved. Also thank you to all technicians, who keep advising, supporting and assisting the students during their project, esspecially Mr. Azhar and Mr. Shawal. These photos are left for our memory. Congratulation for the winners. Others are not looser, but their time not coming yet. See you later guys.
