Setting time is a time needed for a material to bind. for example, convert from plastic or liquid to solid.

Working time is a time that from the beginning of the work until the moment that the material loss all of it's properties and allows to set into the prepared cavity.

Setting time refers to the time it takes for a material to achieve a certain level of hardness or firmness after being applied, while working time refers to the amount of time available to work with a material before it becomes too stiff or unworkable. In other words, setting time is when the material is solidifying, while working time is the window in which you can manipulate the material.
