Abstract
Method for forming or deforming a metal workpiece by passing a stress wave through the metal workpiece sufficient to render it momentarily plastic. The apparatus is basically comprised of a stress wave focusing device or amplifier. In operation, a workpiece is placed in a die or shaping means. The stress wave amplifier is then arranged to direct or focus the stress wave to the metal workpiece. Next, a stress wave is generated and passed through the stress wave focusing device, imparting a momentary state of plasticity to the metal workpiece.
