Wikipedia
cold work
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.: p.375 The same or similar terms are used in glassmaking for the equivalents; for example cut glass is made by "cold work", cutting or grinding a formed object. Cold forming techniques are usually classified into four major groups: squeezing, bending, drawing, and shearing. They generally have the advantage of being simpler to carry out than hot working techniques. Unlike hot working, cold working causes the crystal grains and inclusions to distort following the flow of the metal; which may cause work hardening and anisotropic material properties. Work hardening makes the metal harder, stiffer, and stronger, but less plastic, and may cause cracks of the piece.: p.378 The possible uses of cold forming are extremely varied, including large flat sheets, complex folded shapes, metal tubes, screw heads and threads, riveted joints, and much more.

cold work
Cold work is a process in material science, where a metal or material is deformed or shaped at a temperature lower than its recrystallization temperature. This could involve processes such as bending, rolling, or stamping. The aim of cold working is to increase the material's strength and hardness while reducing its ductility. Because the process is carried out below the recrystallization temperature, the deformations made are not able to repair themselves, leading to internal stress and increased strength.
