By cold working is meant the forming of the metal while at a low temperature (usually room temperature). In contrast to parts produced by hot working, cold-worked parts have a bright new finish, are more accurate, and require less machining.
Cold-finished bars and shafts are produced by rolling, drawing, turning, grinding, and polishing. Of these methods, by far the largest percentage of products are made by the cold-rolling and cold-drawing processes. Cold rolling is now used mostly for the
production of wide flats and sheets. Practically all cold-finished bars are made by cold drawing but even so are sometimes mistakenly called “cold-rolled bars.” In the drawing process, the hot-rolled bars are first cleaned of scale and then drawn by pulling them through a die that reduces the size about 1 32 to 1 16 in. This process does not remove material from the bar but reduces, or “draws” down, the size. Many different shapes of hot-rolled bars may be used for cold drawing.
Cold rolling and cold drawing have the same effect upon the mechanical properties. The cold-working process does not change the grain size but merely distorts it. Cold working results in a large increase in yield strength, an increase in ultimate strength and hardness, and a decrease in ductility. In Fig. 2–12 the properties of a colddrawn bar are compared with those of a hot-rolled bar of the same material.
Heading is a cold-working process in which the metal is gathered, or upset. This operation is commonly used to make screw and rivet heads and is capable of producing a wide variety of shapes. Roll threading is the process of rolling threads by squeezing and rolling a blank between two serrated dies. Spinning is the operation of working sheet material around a rotating form into a circular shape. Stamping is the term used to
describe punch-press operations such as blanking, coining, forming, and shallow drawing.
