COLD WORKING PROCESSES Flashcards
process of metal forming in which the deformation of metal occurs below its recrystallization temperature. In most cases, we perform cold working of metal at room temperature.
Cold Working Processes
Metal is pulled through a die to reduce diameter, increase length, or modify shape.
Cold Drawing
method of shaping metal by
applying compressive forces without the use of heat, typically below the material’ s recrystallization temperature.
Squeezing
Compresses and reduces metal
thickness.
Cold Rolling
Applications: Uniform profiles in mass
production.
Cold Rolling
Shapes metal using compressive
forces from manual hammer or machine hammer
Cold Forging
Applications: Manufacturing fasteners
with enhanced mechanical properties.
Cold Forging
Forces metal through a die to produce
long, uniform shapes.
Cold Extrusion
Applications: Automotive parts and
industrial profiles.
Cold Extrusion
Deforms metals into angular shapes at
room temperature.
Cold Bending
Methods:
1. Rotary Draw Bending
2. Ram Bending
3. Roll Bending
Cold Bending
Methods:
1. Rotary Draw Bending: Bends pipes
using a rotating die.
2. Ram Bending: Uses hydraulic force for pipe bending.
3. Roll Bending: Adjusts bend radius
using three forming rolls.
Cold Bending
Produces precise designs on metal
surfaces via high-pressure stamping.
Coining
Cuts sheets using a shearing machine to ensure straightness and parallelism.
Shearing
Forms flat sheets into hollow shapes
(e.g., cups, cylinders).
