any metal forming operation that is performed above a metal recrystallization temperature.
Plastic deformation of metal at such temperature and rate that strain hardening does not occur.
processing procedure where the metal is plastically deformed into an engineered shape at an engineered temperature and strain rate that that is designed to avoid any strain hardening.
Plastic deformation of metal at elevated temperature. The end effect is to produce a more ductile product.
Plastic deformation of a metal at a temperature high enough to promote recrystallisation, thus preventing cold working.
Deforming metal plastically at a temperature above the recrystallization temperature.
