Cold working

Back to Case study
Cold working Lesson/Tutorial   This is an important industrial process that is used to harden and strengthen metals or alloys that can not be heat-treated.  The metals are strained over and over (like kneading bread) at low temperatures, usually at room temperature. Dislocations form in the metal making it difficult for cracks to grow.
