Cold forming is similar to compression molding in that material is charged into split mold; it differs in that it uses no heat only pressure. Part is cured in an oven in a separate operation. Some thermoplastic sheet material and billets are cold-formed in process similar to drop hammer-die forming of metals. 2, record 1, English, - cold%20forming

On a longtemps assimilé les fabrications mécaniques (le terme construction mécanique est plus restrictif) à l’industrie du travail des métaux. Cette notion est à réviser pour tenir compte de l’utilisation croissante qui y est faite de matériaux non métalliques (plastiques, fibres, caoutchouc, etc.). 1, record 2, French, - fabrications%20m%C3%A9caniques

Les équipements ou objets produits par les fabrications mécaniques sont utilisés dans toutes les branches de l'activité humaine : production et transport d’énergie, transports et manutentions, machines de toutes sortes, construction électrique, équipements agricoles, appareils de mesure, équipement ménager, matériel de bureau, de travaux publics, etc. En définitive, les fabrications mécaniques constituent le dénominateur commun de toutes les industries(...) Les procédés utilisés se rattachent aux méthodes thermiques(fonderie, forgeage à chaud, soudure, traitement des métaux), mécaniques(usinage par enlèvement de matière, formage et forgeage à froid, extrusion, assemblage plus ou moins automatique), électriques(usinage par électro-érosion ou étincelage), chimiques(attaque à l'acide, électrolyse) et électroniques(faisceau électronique, laser). 1, record 2, French, - fabrications%20m%C3%A9caniques
