About this document
Effects of Cold Working on Metals by Kristine Santos is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Cold working involves plastically deforming metals through processes like drawing or rolling, which distorts the crystal structure and increases strength, hardness, and elasticity while reducing ductility. 2. The distorted crystal structure impedes slip between planes, making plastic deformation more difficult. This strengthens and hardens the metal. 3. Heat treating cold worked metals can restore ductility by allowing recovery at low temperatures, or recrystallization at higher temperatures, which a
