Ironing (metalworking)

Ironing is a sheet metal forming process that uniformly thins the workpiece in a specific area. This is not to be mistaken with fabric Ironing.

This process involves using force to evenly flatten a piece of sheet metal into a uniform shape. This could also be the root of the process name, as it uses pressure to flatten the material much like fabric Ironing.
