  2. 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 ...

  3. Bending - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending

    In the absence of a qualifier, the term bending is ambiguous because bending can occur locally in all objects. Therefore, to make the usage of the term more precise, engineers refer to a specific object such as; the bending of rods, [2] the bending of beams, [1] the bending of plates, [3] the bending of shells [2] and so on.

  4. Tube bending - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_bending

    Tube bending is any metal forming processes used to permanently form pipes or tubing. Tube bending may be form-bound or use freeform-bending procedures, and it may use heat supported or cold forming procedures. Form bound bending procedures like “press bending” or “rotary draw bending” are used to form the work piece into the shape of a ...

  5. Forming (metalworking) - Wikipedia

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

    Forming processes tend to be categorised by differences in effective stresses. These categories and descriptions are highly simplified, since the stresses operating at a local level in any given process are very complex and may involve many varieties of stresses operating simultaneously, or it may involve stresses which change over the course of the operation.

  6. Bending (metalworking) - Wikipedia

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

    Bending A chimney starter, a sample product of bending. Bending is a manufacturing process that produces a V-shape, U-shape, or channel shape along a straight axis in ductile materials, most commonly sheet metal. [1] Commonly used equipment include box and pan brakes, brake presses, and other specialized machine presses.

    In Western cultures, it is often considered proper for women to perform a curtsey by bending the knees instead of a bow. Genuflection (or genuflexion) is bending at least one knee to the ground, was from early times a gesture of deep respect for a superior. Kneeling is associated with reverence, submission and obeisance.

  8. Heat bending of wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_bending_of_wood

    Heat bending is the procedure of bending wood into different curves and shapes using moisture and a bending iron. By placing the wood into water, the moisture and heat from the bending iron will reform the structure of the wood, reorganizing the fibers of the wood to prevent the wood from springing back to its original state. [1]

  9. Hogging and sagging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogging_and_sagging

    Hogging is the stress a ship's hull or keel experiences that causes the center or the keel to bend upward. Sagging is the stress a ship's hull or keel is placed under when a wave is the same length as the ship and the ship is in the trough of two waves.
