Merge cold work into work hardening

I've started working on the merger in my sandbox. The link to edit the sandbox is at the top of my user page Xpanzion 07:12, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The cold work and work hardening definitely talk about exactly the same thing and are complementary. They should be merged under a single article title with redirects in place. I prefer to merge under the title of work hardening because that is the most common descriptive name that I am used to reading and hearing for this topic. The term cold worked is usually only used as an adjective describing a piece of metal, but when talking about why cold rolled metal is stronger than hot rolled, people usually shift to talking about "work hardening" as the general process.--Yannick 03:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:strain hardening mentions an old plan to move cold work to strain hardening, but this was apparently never done. I never see or hear the term "strain hardening" except in material sciences textbooks.--Yannick 03:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

drilling and work hardening

Someone might want to add information about work hardening and drilling. When drills fail to penetrate some steel alloys, the heat buildup can toughen the material and make it harder to drill even more.

Not the same thing at all. Work Hardening is due to plastic deformation. What this note is describing is a purely thermal process and is not in any way shape or form cold work or work hardening. What usually happens is the drill bit itself loses it's heat treatment and the hard alloy steel wears away the sharpened edge of the drill bit. This rapidly becomes a feedback loop - the dull bit causes more frictional heating causing more dulling, and a broken bit follows in rapid order.

Removal of red links

I have considered to remove the redlinks without altering the content i will just remove the internal link format to make the page look a bit neat and informative. Any comments regarding this are welcome. Kalivd (talk) 15:21, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I went through and linked some of the red links. The ones that are left I think can just be removed. Wizard191 (talk) 15:41, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge from cold forming

Cold forming is just an application of cold working. This article already references to cold working. Why make people look in two locations for one concept? --Wizard191 (talk) 01:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
