cold working
Metals; Metallurgy
Plastic deformation, such as rolling, hammering, drawing, etc. , at a temperature sufficiently low to create strain-hardening (work-hardening). Commonly, the term refers to such ...
cold shut
Metals; Metallurgy
(1) A discontinuity that appears on the surface of cast metal as a result of two streams of liquid meeting and failing to unite. (2) A portion of the surface of a forging that is ...
cold short
Metals; Metallurgy
A condition of brittleness existing in some metals at temperatures below the re-crystalization temperature.
cold rolled finish
Metals; Metallurgy
Finish obtained by cold rolling plain pickled sheet or strip with a lubricant resulting in a relatively smooth appearance.
coke plate
Metals; Metallurgy
Standard tin plate, with the lightest commercial tin coat, used for food containers, oil canning, etc. A higher grade is the best cokes, with special cokes representing the best ...
cold rolling
Metals; Metallurgy
Rolling metal at a temperature below the softening point of the metal to create strain hardening (work-hardening). Same as cold reduction, except that the working method is ...
coil breaks
Metals; Metallurgy
Creases or ridges across a metal sheet transverse to the direction of coiling, occasionally occurring when the metal has been coiled hot and uncoiled cold.
