Module 2- ferrous metasl manufacturing Flashcards
What are the benefits of Hot Working
Good strength, it is quick, good ductility and toughness
What is Cold Working?
Cold working is working under the recrystalization and recovery point of the metal.
What is hot working
a manufacturing process that takes place above the recrystallization process.
Advantages of Cold working
Increased Strength
Increased Hardness
Improved Surface Finish
Disadvantages of Cold Working
HIgher Energy required and expensive
What is the downside of Hot working
Bad dimensional accuracy
What is Forging?
The compression of a metal held at an elevated temperature
What are some of the benefits of Permanent Moulding
improved casting tolerance, few defects (compared to sand moulding), high production rate and lower space requirements.
What is sand casting?
What is die casting
a process that involves the injection of molten metal under pressure into a metal die or mould
