Hot working is a metalworking process in which materials are deformed at elevated temperatures, typically above their recrystallization temperature. This process allows metals to be easily shaped and manipulated because the increased temperature reduces their yield strength and enhances ductility, making them more malleable. Common hot working processes include: 1. **Hot Rolling**: Involves rolling metal at high temperatures to shape it into sheets or other forms.
