Cutting: One of the more common surfaces making processes is done Rolling: Rolled sheet, plate, bar, et al., may be processed hot or cold.

machines. recrystallization temperature and usually results in a surface covered by
oxide and pock marks where oxides had been pressed into the metal
and then fallen off. Cold rolling is usually done after thick scales of
oxides are pickled off in an acid. It produces a smoother surface.
Extrusion and Drawing: These processes can also be done hot or cold. Electrospark Erosion: This process (applicable mostly to metals) melts a
The effect of oxides is the same as in rolling although the billets for small region of the surface and washes some molten metal away.
extrusion and drawing are often heated in nonoxidizing atmospheres to
reduce these effects.
