Key Feature:

• Low-Temperature Deformation: Cold work entails the deformation of metals below recrystallization temperature, during which dislocations are generated, making it increasingly difficult for them to flow in solid work-hardened states after undergoing deformation, leading to increased hardness.
• Depleted Ductility: Metals become harder and lose ductility during rust, so they cannot be stressed without breaking, thus making them brittle. Examples where their cold-working undergoes intensive application are making car parts, along with metal works and structural components, which heavily require strong and hard materials.

Cold work is generally used to prepare metals requiring very high strength and hardness; for instance, it is particularly useful in auto manufacturing, toolmaking, and construction sectors, where materials have to be stressed and wear down. New cold process data are being delivered constantly to the market, making material stronger and more effective.
