Rolling
Materials science; Metallurgy
The process of shaping metal by passing it between rolls revolving at the same peripheral speed and in opposite directions. In steel there are a number of different types of rolling mill for ...
Drilling
Materials science; Metallurgy
Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut or enlarge a hole of circular cross-section in solid materials. The drill bit is a rotary cutting tool, often multipurpose.
Forming
Materials science; Metallurgy
Forming, or metal forming, is the metalworking process of fashioning metal parts and objects through mechanical deformation; the workpiece is reshaped without adding or removing material, and its ...
Cutting
Materials science; Metallurgy
In the context of machining, a cutting tool (or cutter) is any tool that is used to remove material from the workpiece by means of shear deformation. Cutting may be accomplished by single-point or ...
Turning
Materials science; Metallurgy
A method for removing the surface from a circular piece by bringing the cutting edge of a tool against it while the piece is rotated.
Knurling
Materials science; Metallurgy
Knurling is a process for working metals and other materials by plastic deformation of the surface using knurling tools, such as rolls, serrated rollers, and thread-rolling dies.Shape knurling ...
Drawing
Materials science; Metallurgy
Drawing is a metalworking process which uses tensile forces to stretch metal. It is broken up into two types: sheet metal drawing and wire, bar, and tube drawing. The specific definition for sheet ...
