Features: This manual is a practical toolbook that uses computational methods to unfold sheet metal components or products. The book consists of 6 chapters and 18 sections, providing a comprehensive introduction to the computational methods for 128 types of components, including equal and unequal diameter round pipes, elbows, tees, crosses, prismatic tubes, square tubes, square-socket tubes, rectangular platforms, hexagonal pyramid platforms, square tube elbows, square-socket multi-port tubes, conical tubes and their intersections, cones, oblique cones, elliptical cones, elbows and pocket tubes, round pipes and conical tube-related three-way tubes, square-round five-way connecting tubes, covers, platforms, transition joints and pocket tubes, round containers and spherical head closures, helical surfaces, and blade surfaces, as well as steel section splitting and material length calculations. To facilitate readers in mastering and applying sheet metal unfolding computational methods, the author has organized the content based on the external characteristics of the components, following a progressive and systematic approach. Each type of component is explained in three steps: computational formulas, geometric parameters, and typical examples. The structure is clear, easy to grasp, and highly practical. This book is suitable for cold forming sheet metal workers, riveters, fitters, and pipe fitters. It can also serve as a reference for teachers and students of secondary vocational schools, technical schools, and engineering professionals.
