Disadvantage:
1. Scaling of part surface
3. Hot Working
• Deformation at temperatures above the
recrystallization temperature
• Recrystallization temperature = about
one-half of melting point on absolute scale
• In practice, hot working usually performed
somewhat above 0.6Tm
• Metal continues to soften as temperature
increases above 0.6Tm, enhancing advantage of
hot working above this level
Why Hot Working?
Capability for substantial plastic deformation
of the metal - far more than possible with
cold working or warm working
• Why?
• Strength coefficient (K) is substantially less than
at room temperature
• Strain hardening exponent (n) is zero
(theoretically)
• Ductility is significantly increased
Advantages of Hot Working
• Workpart shape can be significantly altered
• Lower forces and power required
• Metals that usually fracture in cold working
can be hot formed
• Strength properties of product are generally
isotropic
• No work hardening occurs during forming
Disadvantages of Hot Working
• Lower dimensional accuracy in case of bulk
forming
• Higher total energy required (due to the
thermal energy to heat the workpiece)
• Work surface oxidation (scale), poorer
surface finish
• Shorter tool life
