HOT WORKING PROCESSES Flashcards
Shaping metals at elevated temperatures above recryztallization temperature
Hot working
Benefits include: Improved Ductility, reduced strength, and ability to form complex shapes
Hot working
Common Applications: Forging, Rolling, Extrusion, and Drawing
Hot working
Process: Pulling a metal through a die to reduce its cross-sectional area
Hot Drawing
Types: Wire ________, Tube _________, and Rod ____________
Hot Drawing
Tube is pulled through a die with a mandrel inside to reduce cross sectional area
Tube Drawing
Process: Shaping a metal blank into a hollow form by forcing against a rotating mandrel
Hot Spinning
Process: Joining two pieces of metal together by applying heat and pressure
Pipe Welding
Process: Creating a hole in a metal sheet using a punch and die
Hot Piercing
Types: Butt Welding, Fillet Welding, Groove Welding
Pipe Welding
Metal is deformed plastically above recryztallization temperature but below the burning point.
Hot working Process
1/3 or 1/2 of the melting point of the metal
recrystallization temperature
Classifications: Rolling, Forging, Extrusion
Hot Working Processes
Metal is heated above recrystallization temperature and then passed through pair of rollers, rolling in the opposite direction but with the same speed to flatten it, lengthen it, and reduce cross-sectional area and obtain uniform thickness
Hot Rolling
Process in which metal is plastically deformed above the recrystalization temp. in the operation. It is commonly used to manufacture metal plates and sheets
Hot Rolling
