Question

Q7. A cylindrical rod of 1040 steel originally 15.2 mm (0.60 in.) in diameter is to be cold worked by drawing; the circular cross section will be maintained during deformation. A cold-worked tensile strength in excess of 840 MPa (122,000 psi) and a ductility of at least 12%EL are desired. Furthermore, the final diameter must be 10 mm (0.40 in.). Explain how this may be accomplished. (10 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

11.2mm or 0.45in

Explanation:

The percent cold work, attendant tensile strength and ductility if drawing is carried out without interruption is given by the equation you will find in the attached file.
