Forms of metalworking: processes and applications
Metalworking encompasses a variety of processes that are used to shape, refine or process metals into the desired form. These processes can be divided into different categories, including cutting, forming, joining and thermal processing techniques.
Machining metalworking
In machining, material is removed by cutting, milling, drilling or grinding. Classic processes are:
- Turning: The metal workpiece rotates while a tool removes material.
- Milling: A rotating cutting tool removes material to create precise shapes.
- Drilling: Creates cylindrical holes in metal parts.
- Grinding: Used for smoothing and precision machining of surfaces.
Metal forming
Here, the metal is moulded into a new shape by applying pressure or tension without any loss of material. Important processes are
- Rolling: Metal is formed between rollers to produce sheet metal or wire.
- Forging: The metal is moulded into the desired shape by hammering or pressing.
- Bending: Metal is shaped mechanically or by heat.
Joining techniques in metalworking
Metal parts are joined using various processes:
- Welding: Heats the metal parts so that they are joined by fusion.
- Soldering: Joins metals with a molten filler alloy.
- Riveting: Mechanical connection using rivets as fastening elements.
Thermal metalworking
Heat treatment improves the mechanical properties of metal:
- Hardening: Increases strength through targeted heating and cooling.
- Annealing: Reduces stresses and increases ductility.
- Tempering: Combines hardening and tempering for optimum material properties.
