Metal Working Process Flashcards
are those formed by physically working the
metal into shape
Wrought objects
are formed by pouring molten metal into
molds.
cast items
When it comes to mechanically working
metal into a desired shape, there are three
methods commonly used.
They are hot-working, cold-working, and extruding
the process of forming metal at an elevated temperature when it is in its annealed, or soft condition
Hot-working Process
consists of forming hot metal ingots with rollers to form sheets, bars, and beams
Rolling
is a process wherein a piece of metal is worked
at temperatures above its critical range.
Forging
is a process of reduction of the
cross-sectional area or shaping a metal
piece through the deformation caused by a
pair of rotating in opposite directions metal
rolls.
Rolling
– 6x6 .in or larger; approximately square
Bloom
– less than 6x6 in; approximately square
Billet
– rectangular sections in which the width is greater than twice the thickness
Slabs
is forming a preheated workpiece by
using impact energy of the falling
hammer forcing the metal to fill
the space between the punch (a part
attached to the hammer) and
the forging die (a part attached to the
anvil).
Hammer forging (drop forging)
The surplus metal which has been
squeezed out into the relieved section
is called _________.
the fin or flash
is used to form large and heavy parts. Since a press is slow acting, its force is uniformly
transmitted to the center of the material being pressed.
Pressing
is a hammering process whereby a hot ingot is placed between a pair of formed dies
in a machine called a drop hammer and a weight of several tonsis dropped on the upper die
Drop forging
is a type of forging that is usually used on small parts because it requires a metalworker to physically hammer a piece of metal into its finished shape.
