Answer:

cold working

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data in question

melting point tungsten (W) = 3380°C = 3653 K

processing temperature = 1100°C = 1373 K

To find out

process is hot or cold working

solution

we know hot working and cold working process is depend upon the Recrystallization and Recrystallization is a process in which deformed grains of crystal structures are replace with stress-free grains that nucleate and grow till actual grains have been consumed fully

and we know that ratio of processing temperature and melting point tungsten is greater than 60% than the process is start of Recrystallization so we check ratio

ratio = processing temperature / melting point tungsten

ratio = 1373 / 3653

ratio = 0.3758 = 37.58 %

we can see this is less than 60 % so our process is cold working
