Question regarding Cold Drawn Steel

Materials
Typically the only shapes available cold worked (and left in that condition for higher strength) will be sheet and bar.
It is always cold rolling for sheet and can be either drawing or rolling for bar.
Plate might be cold rolled to improve surface finish and/or tolerances but it won't be cold worked enough to change its properties.
Shapes are almost never cold finished.

P.E. Metallurgy, consulting work welcomed
