Forming Practice Test: Mechanical Working of Metals — Flashcards

Mechanical Working of Metals topcis include: Deep drawing, cold rolling, thread rolling, stretch forming, swaging, tube making, rod and tube drawing and metallurgical aspects.

Forming is a metalworking process that uses mechanical deformation to change the shape of a metal workpiece. It's an important manufacturing process that can create metal parts of various shapes and sizes. 

Here are some types of mechanical working of metals:
Forging: A metalworking process that uses compressive force to achieve a desired shape. In hot forging, the metal is heated above the recrystallization temperature and then compressed and squeezed into shape.
Cold working: A type of mechanical working that uses a die to bend, shape, or join metal without heating it.
Extrusion: A metal-forming manufacturing process that forces a cylindrical billet to flow through a die of the desired cross-section.
Rolling: A forming process that passes metal through a pair of rotating rollers to cause plastic deformation. It's commonly used for processing steel.
Drawing: A metal forming technique that uses a die to pull metal through to reduce its diameter and increase its length. It's commonly used in the production of wires, rods, and tubing.
Rubber-pad forming: A process that sandwiches the workpiece between rubber and a metallic tool to improve the surface finish.
