cold working
Cold Working consists of shaping or straining the metal at a lower temperature without raising the temperature. It tends to make metals harder and stronger at the same time and decreases their ductility.
Key Features:
- Deformation without a Heat: Metal used is worked below its recrystallization temperature. It differs from improving a thermal density durability. It strengthens, however, also has an effect on brittle materials. It undergoes strain hardening, which increases the above two factors.
The process usually leads to the rolling, drawing, stamping as well as manufacturing of precision parts with application in automotive, aerospace, and construction industries. Cold Work revolves around increasing the strength and wearing qualities of metal parts without heating them.
It was mainly adopted by manufacturing industries to produce robust, energy-efficient components that less required maintenance. Advances in the cold working technique improved productivity and application areas.
