Abstract
The bending and forming of metals are cold working operations which involve plastic deformation of the workpiece. The metal has to be stretched beyond the elastic limit, but not so far that it cracks or fractures Only some metals and alloys have sufficient ductility to be used in this way. Low carbon steels, killed steels, and alloys of copper and aluminium are widely used for the manufacture of metal pressings.
