EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE
It is an important factor because the properties of
metal change with an increase in its temperature.
At low temperatures; good surface finish, strength,
hardness and close tolerances can be achieved but
stress required to deform the metal is more.
At high temperatures; ductility, grain structure and
deformability increases but strength, hardness,
surface finish and life of the working tool decreases.
Factors
on which the temperature of workpiece
depends:
o
The initial temperature of the tools and work
material.
o Heat generation due to plastic deformation.
o
Heat generated by friction at the die and work
interface.
o
Heat transfer between the deforming material and
the dies and surrounding environment.
