Processes like annealing or quenching alter the internal structure of a material to improve strength, ductility, or hardness without changing its shape. Key techniques include forging (compressive force)
Material is reshaped through plastic deformation without removing mass. Key techniques include forging (compressive force), rolling (thickness reduction), and extrusion (pushing through a die).
The choice of manufacturing process depends heavily on the material's properties:
Uses chemical agents like epoxies to join surfaces.
