Changing the structure and shape of steel by applying stress at low temperature.
Changes in the structure and shape of steel achieved through rolling, hammering, or stretching the steel at a low temperature (often room temperature). To create a permanent increase in the hardness and strength of the steel. The application of forces to the steel causes changes in the composition that enhance certain properties. In order for these improvements to be sustained, the temperature must be below a certain range because the structural changes are eliminated by higher temperatures.
Material reduction or deformation carried out at temperatures below those resulting in the recrystallization or annealing of the metal. Cold working of the metal will bring about strain-hardening with an increase in strength and hardness.
Metalforming, normally at room temperature, under low strain and temperature conditions which induce strain hardening.
Changing the shape of a piece of steel, at a temperature which is below the recrystallisation temperature, ie by plastic deformation, eg by rolling, forging, extrusion, drawing, spinning, machining etc.
Plastic deformation of a metal at a temperature low enough so that recrystallization does not occur during cooling.
Forging at a temperature below the metal's recrystallization point.
The plastic deformation of metal under conditions of temperature and strain rate that induce strain hardening. Usually, but not necessarily, conducted at room temperature. Also referred to as cold forming or cold forging. Contrast with hot working.
Permanent deformation of a metal below its recrystallization temperature, which hardens the metal.
any type of strain hardening that increases hardness, ductility, strength and temper
The deformation of metal significantly below its recrystallization temperature such that work hardening occurs.
Metal deformation process in which the metal is subjected to temperatures low enough to prevent re-crystallization of the metal during cooling.
the plastic deformation of a metal at a temperature below that at which it recrystallizes.
Plastic (i.e., permanent) deformation of metal at such temperature and rate that strain-hardening occurs.
Deformation of a metal usually at room temperature.
The operation of permanently altering the shape or dimensions of the steel, carried out at atmospheric temperature by, for example, cold rolling or cold reduction. Other methods of applying cold work are by drawing, pressing, forming, bending, swaging,etc.
Deformation of metal at a temperature low enough to create work hardening. Typical at room temperature.
Deforming metal plastically under conditions of temperature and strain rote that induce strain hardening. Usually, hut not necessarily, conducted at room temperature. Contrast with hot working.
Altering the shape or size of a metal by plastic deformation. Processes include rolling, drawing, pressing, spinning, extruding and heading, it is carried out below the recrystallization point usually at room temperature. Hardness and tensile strength are increased with the degree of cold work whilst ductility and impact values are lowered. The cold rolling and cold drawing of steel significantly improves surface finish.
Deforming a metal at a temperature below that of recrystallisation so that the metal hardens.
The process of changing the form or cross-section of a piece of metal at a temperature below the softening or recrystallization point, but commonly at or about room temperature. It includes rolling, drawing, pressing and stretching.
The process in which properties of an aluminum alloy, such as strength and hardening, are manipulated through the subjection of the alloy to low temperatures.
