Metalworking: Bulk Forming was published in 2005 as Volume 14A of the ASM Handbook. The volume was prepared under the direction of the ASM International Handbook Committee.

In 2009, 12 articles were added to the “Evaluation of Workability” section as online updates. These articles were adapted from Handbook of Workability and Process Design, G.E. Dieter, H.A. Kuhn, and S.L. Semiatin, Ed., ASM International, 2003. The articles that were added to Volume 14A are:

• “Evolution of Microstructure during Hot Working”

• “Bulk Workability of Metals”

• “Workability Theory and Application in Bulk Forming Processes”

• “Workability in Forging”

• “Workability and Process Design in Extrusion and Wire Drawing”

• “Bulk Workability Testing”

• “Cold Upset Testing”

• “Hot-Compression Testing”

• “Hot-Tension Testing”

• “Torsion Testing to Assess Bulk Workability”

• “Hot Working Simulation by Hot Torsion Testing”

• “Thermomechanical Testing”
