Deformation Of Metals | Elastic Deformation | Plastic Deformation |Shear Deformation Deformation of Metals The change produced in metal without any fracture even after removal of external load is called deformation. The change can be either axial or angular in nature. The property which enables metals to deform without any fracture is called plasticity. Plasticity […]
Cold Working and Hot working | Residual Stresses | Recovery and Re-Crystallization Cold Working What is Cold Working? When a metal is subjected to a mechanical process like drawing, cold rolling, bending, etc., it undergoes plastic deformation below the re-crystallization temperature. The process is termed as cold working. Most of the cold working processes are performed […]
