Hot working
In materials science, hot working refers to
processes where metals are plastically
deformed above their recrystallization
temperature. Being above the recrystallizationtemperature allows the material to recrystallize
during deformation. This is important because
recrystallization keeps the materials from strain
hardening, which ultimately keeps the yieldstrength and hardness low and ductility high.

Advantages of Hot working
Decrease in yield strength, therefore it is easier to workand uses less energy or force
Increase in ductility
Elevated temperatures increase diffusion which canremove or reduce chemical in homogeneities
Pores may reduce in size or close completely duringdeformation
In steel, the weak, ductile, face-centered-cubic austenite
microstructure is deformed instead of the strong body-centered-cubic ferrite microstructure found at lowertemperatures

Disadvantages of HW
Undesirable reactions between the metal andthe surrounding atmosphere (scaling or rapidoxidation of the workpiece)
Less precise tolerances due to thermalcontraction and warping from uneven cooling
Grain structure may vary throughout the metalfor various reasons
Requires a heating unit of some kind such as agas or diesel furnace or an induction heater,which can be very expensive

Cold working
Cold working is a metalworking process that employswork hardening because the work piece is shaped at atemperature below its recrystallization temperature,usually at the ambient temperature.[1] Cold forming
techniques are usually classified into four major groups:squeezing, bending, drawing, and shearing.
Such deformation increases the concentration ofdislocations which may subsequently form low-anglegrain boundaries surrounding sub-grains. Cold workinggenerally results in a higheryield strength as a result ofthe increased number of dislocations and the Hall-Petcheffect of the sub-grains, and a decrease in ductility. Theeffects of cold working may be reversed by annealing thematerial at high temperatures where recovery and
recrystallization reduce the dislocation density.

Forging
Forging is the term for shaping metal by usinglocalized compressive forces. Cold forging isdone at room temperature or near roomtemperature. Hot forging is done at a high
temperature, which makes metal easier to shapeand less likely to fracture. Warm forging is doneat intermediate temperature between roomtemperature and hot forging temperatures.Forged parts can range in weight from less thana kilogram to 170 metric tons. Forged partsusually require further processing to achieve afinished part.

Hot and Cold forging
Hot forging is defined as working a metal aboveits recrystallization temperature. The mainadvantage of hot forging is that as the metal is
deformed the strain-hardening effects arenegated by the recrystallization process.
Cold forging is defined as working a metal below
its recrystallization temperature, but usuallyaround room temperature. If the temperature isabove 0.3 times the melting temperature (on anabsolute scale) then it qualifies as warm forging.

Open-die drop-hammer forging
Open-die forging is also known as smith forgingIn open-die forging ahammer comes down and deforms the workpiece, which is placedon a stationary anvil. Open-die forging gets its name from the factthat the dies (the working surfaces of the forge that contact the
workpiece) do not enclose the workpiece, allowing it to flow exceptwhere contacted by the dies. Therefore the operator needs to orientand position the workpiece to get the desired shape. The dies areusually flat in shape, but some have a specially shaped surface forspecialized operations. For instance, the die may have a round,concave, or convex surface or be a tool to form holes or be a cut-offtool.
Open-die forging lends itself to short runs and is appropriate for artsmithing and custom work. Other times open-die forging is used torough shape ingots to prepare them for further operations. This canalso orient the grains to increase strength in the required direction.

Impression-die forging
Impression-die forging is also called closed-die forging.In impression-die work metal is placed in a dieresembling a mold, which is attached to the anvil.Usually the hammer die is shaped as well. The hammeris then dropped on the workpiece, causing the metal toflow and fill the die cavities. The hammer is generally incontact with the workpiece on the scale of milliseconds.Depending on the size and complexity of the part thehammer may be dropped multiple times in quicksuccession. Excess metal is squeezed out of the die
cavities, forming what is referred to as flash. The flashcools more rapidly than the rest of the material; this coolmetal is stronger than the metal in the die so it helpsprevent more flash from forming. This also forces themetal to completely fill the die cavity. After forging theflash is removed.

Closed-die forging
In this type of forging the die cavities are completely closed, whichkeeps the workpiece from forming flash. The major advantage to thisprocess is that less metal is lost to flash. Flash can account for 20 to45% of the starting material. The disadvantages of this processinclude additional cost due to a more complex die design and the
need for better lubrication and workpiece placement.
Closed-die forging has a high initial cost due to the creation of dies and
required design work to make working die cavities. However, it has low
recurring costs for each part, thus forgings become more economical with
more volume. This is one of the major reasons closed-die forgings are
often used in the automotive and tool industry. Another reason forgingsare common in these industrial sectors is because forgings generally have
about a 20% higher strength to weight ratio compared to cast or machined
parts of the same material.

Press forging
Press forging is variation of drop-hammer forging. Unlike drop-
hammer forging, press forges work slowly by applying continuous
pressure or force. The amount of time the dies are in contact with
the workpiece is measured in seconds (as compared to the
milliseconds of drop-hammer forges). The press forging operationcan be done either cold or hot.
Press forging can be used to perform all types of forging, including
open-die and impression-die forging. Impression-die press forging
usually requires less draft than drop forging and has betterdimensional accuracy. Also, press forgings can often be done in one
closing of the dies, allowing for easy automation.

Roll forging
Roll forging is a process where round or flat bar stock is reduced inthickness and increased in length. Roll forging is performed usingtwo cylindrical or semi-cylindrical rolls, each containing one or moreshaped grooves.
A heated bar is inserted into the rolls and when it hits a stop the rollsrotate and the bar is progressively shaped as it is rolled out of themachine. The work piece is then transferred to the next set ofgrooves or turned around and reinserted into the same grooves.This continues until the desired shape and size is achieved. Theadvantage of this process is there is no flash and it imparts afavorable grain structure into the workpiece.
Examples of products produced using this method include axles,tapered levers and leaf springs.

Roll forming
Roll forming is a continuous bending
operation in which a long strip ofmetal
(typically coiled steel) is passed through
consecutive sets of rolls, orstands, each
performing only an incremental part of the
bend, until the desired cross-section
profile is obtained. Roll forming is ideal forproducing parts with long lengths or in
large quantities.

A variety of cross-section profiles can be produced, but each profilerequires a carefully crafted set of roll tools. Design of the rolls startswith a flowerpattern, which is the sequence of profile cross-sections, one for each stand of rolls. The roll contours are thenderived from the profile contours. Because of the high cost of the rollsets, simulation is often used to validate the designed rolls andoptimize the forming process to minimize the number of stands andmaterial stresses in the final product.
Roll formed sections have an advantage over extrusions of a similarshapes. Roll formed parts are generally much lighter and stronger,having been work hardened in a cold state. Another advantage is
that the part can be made having a finish or already painted. Laboris greatly reduced since volume is a major consideration forchoosing the roll forming process.

The process of roll forming is one of the simplermanufacturing processes. It begins with a large spool ofmetal strips, usually between 1 in. and 20in. in width,and 0.004 in. and 0.125 in. thick. This is held by a devicecalled a dispenser. The metal strip is then unrolled andfed into a machine starting with the stock feeder which isconnected to the cutoff attachment. After the cutoffattachment, the metal strip is fed into the forming rolls.These mating die-set rolls are constructed to form thedesired shape in stages sequentially by means of
various shaped rolls. The layout of these rolls can beflower shaped as mentioned previously, progressiveupper/lower rolls, side rolls, or as overhung spindle rolls(known as cluster roll configurations). These different rollconfigurations are used according to the job that needsto be done.

Hot rolling
Hot rolling is a hot working metalworkingprocess where large pieces ofmetal, such asslabs or billets, are heated above theirrecrystallization temperature and then deformed
between rollers to form thinner cross sections.Hot rolling produces thinner cross sections thancold rolling processes with the same number ofstages. Hot rolling, due to recrystallization, willreduce the average grain size of a metal while
maintaining an equiaxed microstructure whereas cold rolling will produce a hardenedmicrostructure

Cold rolling
Cold rolling is a metalworking process in which
metal is deformed by passing it through rollers at
a temperature below its recrystallization
temperature. Cold rolling increases the yieldstrength and hardness of a metal by introducing
defects into the metal's crystal structure. These
defects prevent further slip and can reduce the
grain size of the metal. Cold rolling is most oftenused to decrease the thickness of plate and
sheet metal.

Drawing
Drawing is a metalworking process which uses tensileforces to stretch metal. It is broken up into two types:sheet metal drawing and wire, bar, and tube drawing.The specific definition for sheet metal drawing is that it
involves plastic deformation over a curved axis. For wire,bar, and, tube drawing the starting stock is drawnthrough a die to reduce its diameter and increase itslength. Drawing is usually done at room temperature,thus classified a cold working process, however it may
be performed at elevated temperatures to hot work largewires, rods or hollow sections in order to reduce forces.

Rod drawing
Bars or rods that are drawn cannot be coiled thereforestraight-pull draw benches are used. Chain drives areused to draw workpieces up to 30 m (98 ft). Hydrauliccylinders are used for shorter length workpieces.
The reduction in area is usually restricted to 20 to 50%,because greater reductions would exceed the tensilestrength of the material, depending on its ductility. Toachieved a certain size or shape multiple passes through
progressively smaller dies or intermediate anneals maybe required.

Wire drawing
Wire drawing is a metalworking process used to reduce thediameter of a wire by pulling the wire through a single, or series of,drawing die(s).
There are many applications for wire drawing, including electrical
wiring, cables, tension-loaded structural components, springs, paperclips, spokes for wheels, and stringed musical instruments. Althoughsimilar in process, drawing is different from extrusion, because indrawing the wire is pulled, rather than pushed, through the die.
Drawing is usually performed at room temperature, thus classified acold working process, but it may be performed at elevatedtemperatures for large wires to reduce forces. Wires can also bedrawn into different shapes, although this is much more difficult thandiameter reductions. More recently drawing has been used withmolten glass to produce high quality.

Tube drawing
Tube drawing is a metalworking process to size tube byshrinking a large diameter tube into a smaller one, bydrawing the tube through a die. This process produceshigh quality tubing with precise dimensions, good
surface finish, and the added strength ofcold working.Because it is so versatile, tube drawing is suitable forboth large and small scale production.
There are five types of tube drawing: tube sinking,
mandrel drawing, stationary mandrel, moving mandrel,and floating mandrel. A mandrel is used in many of thetypes to prevent buckling or wrinkling in the work piece.

Extrusion
Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. A material is pushed or drawn through a die of thedesired cross-section. The two main advantages of this processover other manufacturing processes is its ability to create verycomplex cross-sections and work materials that are brittle, becausethe material only encounters compressive and shearstresses. It
also forms finished parts with an excellent surface finish.
Extrusion may be continuous (theoretically producing indefinitelylong material) or semi-continuous (producing many pieces). Theextrusion process can be done with the material hot or cold.
Commonly extruded materials include metals, polymers, ceramics,concrete and foodstuffs.

Hot extrusion
Hot extrusion is done at an elevatedtemperature to keep the material from workhardening and to make it easier to push thematerial through the die. Most hot extrusions are
done on horizontal hydraulic presses that rangefrom 250 to 12,000 tons. Pressures range from30 to 700 MPa (4,400 to 102,000 psi), thereforelubrication is required, which can be oil orgraphite for lower temperature extrusions, or
glass powder for higher temperature extrusions.The biggest disadvantage of this process is itscost for machinery and its upkeep.

Cold extrusion
Cold extrusion is done at room temperature or near roomtemperature. The advantages of this over hot extrusionare the lack of oxidation, higher strength due to coldworking, closer tolerances, good surface finish, and fast
extrusion speeds if the material is subject to . Materials that are commonly cold extruded include: lead,
tin, aluminum, copper, zirconium, titanium, molybdenum,beryllium, vanadium, niobium, and steel.
Examples of products produced by this process are:
collapsible tubes, fire extinguishercases, shockabsorbercylinders, automotive pistons, and gear blanks.

Extrusion equipment
There are many different variations of extrusion equipment. They vary by four majorcharacteristics:
Movement of the extrusion with relation to the ram. If the die is held stationary andthe ram moves towards it then its called "direct extrusion". If the ram is heldstationary and the die moves towards the ram its called "indirect extrusion".
The position of the press, either vertical or horizontal.
The type of drive, either hydraulic or mechanical.
The type of load applied, either conventional (variable) orhydrostatic.
A single or twin screw auger, powered by an electric motor, or a ram, driven byhydraulic pressure (often used for steel and titanium alloys), oil pressure (foraluminum), or in other specialized processes such as rollers inside a perforated drumfor the production of many simultaneous streams of material.

Direct extrusion
Direct extrusion, also known as forward extrusion, is themost common extrusion process. It works by placing thebillet in a heavy walled container. The billet is pushedthrough the die by a ram or screw. There is a reusabledummy block between the ram and the billet to keep
them separated. The major disadvantage of this processis that the force required to extrude the billet is greaterthan that need in the indirect extrusion process becauseof the frictional forces introduced by the need for thebillet to travel the entire length of the container. Becauseof this the greatest force required is at the beginning ofprocess and slowly decreases as the billet is used up. Atthe end of the billet the force greatly increases becausethe billet is thin and the material must flow radially to exitthe die. The end of the billet, called the butt end, is notused for this reason.

Indirect extrusion
In indirect extrusion, also known as backwards extrusion, the billet and containermove together while the die is stationary. The die is held in place by a "stem" whichhas to be longer than the container length. The maximum length of the extrusion isultimately dictated by the column strength of the stem. Because the billet moves withthe container the frictional forces are eliminated. This leads to the followingadvantages:
A 25 to 30% reduction of friction, which allows for extruding larger billets, increasing
speed, and an increased ability to extrude smaller cross-sections There is less of a tendency for extrusions to crack because there is no heat formed
from friction
The container liner will last longer due to less wear
The billet is used more uniformly so extrusion defects and coarse grained peripheralszones are less likely.
The disadvantages are:
Impurities and defects on the surface of the billet affect the surface of the extrusion.These defects ruin the piece if it needs to be anodized or the aesthetics areimportant. In order to get around this the billets may be wire brushed, machined orchemically cleaned before being used.
This process isn't as versatile as direct extrusions because the cross-sectional area islimited by the maximum size of the

Hydrostatic extrusion
In the hydrostatic extrusion process the billet is completelysurrounded by a pressurized liquid, except where the billet contactsthe die. This process can be done hot, warm, or cold, however thetemperature is limited by the stability of the fluid used. The processmust be carried out in a sealed cylinder to contain the hydrostaticmedium. The fluid can be pressurized two ways:
Constant-rate extrusion: A ram or plunger is used to pressurize thefluid inside the container.
Constant-pressure extrusion: A pump is used, possibly with apressure intensifier, to pressurize the fluid, which is then pumped tothe container.

The advantages of this process include
No friction between the container and the billet reduces force requirements.This ultimately allows for faster speeds, higher reduction ratios, and lowerbillet temperatures.
Usually the ductility of the material increases when high pressures are
applied. An even flow of material.
Large billets and large cross-sections can be extruded.
No billet residue is left on the container walls.
The disadvantages are:
The billets must be prepared by tapering one end to match the die entryangle. This is needed to form a seal at the beginning of the cycle. Usuallythe entire billet needs to be machined to remove any surface defects.
Containing the fluid under high pressures can be difficult
