    MMII (13) Strain Hardening

    The document discusses strain hardening or cold working which occurs when plastic deformation is carried out at a low temperature without relieving strain hardening. Cold working results in a high density of dislocations in the metal's structure. Annealing softens cold worked metal by recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth processes which remove dislocations and reduce strength and hardness while increasing ductility.

    Strain hardening or cold working

    Cold-work structure occurs when plastic deformation carried out at in a temperature


    region and over a time interval such that the strain hardening is not relieved.
    • Cold worked structure contains dislocation ~ 1011 mm-2, while annealed structure
    possesses ~104 to 106 mm-2.
    • As the deformation proceeds, the high density dislocations tangles form the
    cell walls.
    • About 10% of energy input in cold work process is stored in the lattice.

    Temperature ↓ Strain Rate ↑ Stored Energy ↑

    • Strain hardening or cold working is used to harden alloys that do not respond to heat
    treatment.

    • The rate of strain hardening is lower in HCP than in cubic metals.


    • The final strength of cold-worked solid solution alloy is almost always greater than
    that of the pure metal cold-worked to the same extent.

    Annealing of cold-worked metal


    • Annealing of the cold worked structure at high temperature softens the metal and
    reverts to a strain-free condition.
    • Annealing restores the ductility to a metal that has been severely strain hardened.
    • Annealing can be divided into three distinct processes;
    1) Recovery
    2) Recrystallization
    3) Grain growth

    • Recovery:
    the restoration of the physical properties of the cold worked metal without any
    observable change in microstructure. Strength is not affected.
    • Recrystallisation:
    the cold worked structure is replaced by a new set of strain-free grains. Hardness and
    strength decrease but ductility increases.
    • Grain growth:
    occurs at higher temperature where some of the recrystallised fine grains start to
    grow rapidly. Grain growth is inhibited by second phase particles to pin the grain
    boundaries.
    There are six variables affecting variables affecting recrystallization behavior
    1) The amount of prior deformation
    2) Temperature
    3) Time
    4) Initial grain size
    5) Composition
    6) Amount of recovery prior to start the recrystallisation.
    .
    • Impurity decrease recrystallisation temperature.
    • Solid solution alloying additions raise the recrystallization temperature.
