Forming encompasses the plastic deformation of metallic and composite materials into aeronautical structural geometries without material removal, covering processes such as superplastic forming (SPF), hot and cold pressing, hydroforming, stretch forming, and deep drawing, applied to aluminium alloys, titanium, and advanced high-strength steels to produce skins, frames, and complex contoured components to tight dimensional tolerances.
