  4. Metal fabrication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fabrication

    Metal fabrication is the creation of metal structures by cutting, bending and assembling processes. It is a value-added [1] process involving the creation of machines, parts, and structures from various raw materials. Typically, a fabrication shop bids on a job, usually based on engineering drawings, and if awarded the contract, builds the ...

  5. Metalworking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalworking

    Metalworking is the process of shaping and reshaping metals in order to create useful objects, parts, assemblies, and large scale structures. As a term, it covers a wide and diverse range of processes, skills, and tools for producing objects on every scale: from huge ships , buildings, and bridges , down to precise engine parts and delicate ...

  6. Cold working - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_working

    In metallurgy, cold forming or cold working is any metalworking process in which metal is shaped below its recrystallization temperature, usually at the ambient temperature.. Such processes are contrasted with hot working techniques like hot rolling, forging, welding, etc. [1]: p.375 The same or similar terms are used in glassmaking for the equivalents; for example cut glass is made by "cold ...

  7. Forming (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forming_(metalworking)

    In metalworking, forming is the fashioning of metal parts and objects through mechanical deformation; the workpiece is reshaped without adding or removing material, and its mass remains unchanged. [1] Forming operates on the materials science principle of plastic deformation, where the physical shape of a material is permanently deformed.

  8. Honing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honing_(metalworking)

    Honing is an abrasive machining process that produces a precision surface on a metal workpiece by scrubbing an abrasive grinding stone or grinding wheel against it along a controlled path. Honing is primarily used to improve the geometric form of a surface, but can also improve the surface finish.

  9. Grinding (abrasive cutting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_(abrasive_cutting)

    Grinding is a subset of cutting, as grinding is a true metal-cutting process. Each grain of abrasive functions as a microscopic single-point cutting edge (although of high negative rake angle ), and shears a tiny chip that is analogous to what would conventionally be called a "cut" chip (turning, milling, drilling, tapping, etc.) [ citation ...
