    The document describes the steps required to cold work an aluminum plate from 3 inches to 0.3 inches thick while achieving a tensile strength of at least 25,000 psi and 5% elongation. The process involves three steps: 1) Cold work to 75% thickness reduction, 2) Cold work to 42.8% reduction, 3) Cold work final 30% reduction. Alternatively, the plate could be hot worked to 85.7% reduction followed by a final cold work step to 30% for the required thickness and properties.

    Question:

    We wish to produce a 0.3-in. thick plate of 3105 aluminum having a


    tensile strength of at least 25,000 psi and a % elongation of at least
    5%. The original thickness of the plate is 3 in. The maximum cold
    work in each step is 80%. Describe the cold working and annealing
    steps required to make this product. Compare this process with what
    you would recommend if you could do the initial deformation by
    hot working. (See Figure.)

    Answer :

    Consider the graph 8.25, “The effect of percent cold work on the
    properties of a 3105 aluminum alloy†and obtain the
    corresponding cold work percent for the given properties as follows:

    Obtain the range of cold work needed to obtain the required plate thickness as
    follows:

    From the graph, it is clear that for a tensile strength of , the


    minimum corresponding percent of cold work is 42% which is .

    But, if considering the percentage elongation of , the corresponding percent


    cold work is 25% which is .

    Since there is no exact value of the percentage cold work for the required
    properties, take the 30% of cold work by satisfying the minimum 5% elongation at
    the final stage of the process.

    Calculate the original thickness of the specimen prior to the final operation by using
    the following relation:

    Here, is the thickness of the specimen prior to cold working and is the final
    thickness, and %CW is cold work.

    Substitute 30% for %CW and 0.3 in. for .

    Write the steps for cold work or anneal treatment as follows:

    1)

    Cold work the piece up to 75% from 3 in. and obtain the final thickness as follows:

    Substitute 75% for %CW and 3 in. for .

    Hence the thickness obtained after a percentage cold work of 75% is 0.75 in.

    2)

    Cold work the piece up to a percent to obtain the final thickness of 0.429 in. from
    0.75 in. as follows:

    Substitute for and 0.75 in. for .

    Hence cold work the piece up to percent of 42.8%, to obtain the thickness of
    0.429in.

    3)

    Cold work the piece up to a percent to obtain the final thickness of 0.3 in. from
    0.429 in. as follows:

    Substitute for and 0.3 in. for .

    Hence cold work the piece up to percent of 30%, to obtain the final thickness of 0.3
    in.

    Hence the steps for cold work or anneal treatment to reduce the thickness of plate
    from 3 in. to 0.3 in. include the following:

    1. Cold work the piece up to a percent of 75%, to reduce the thickness from 3 in. to
    0.75 in.

    2. Now cold work the piece up to a percent of 42.8%, to reduce the thickness from
    0.75 in. to 0.429 in.

    3. Then cold work the piece up to a percent of 30%, to reduce the thickness from
    0.429 in. to a final required thickness of 0.3 in.

    Compare the cold work treatment with hot work treatment as follows:

    Write the steps for cold work or anneal treatment as follows:

    1)

    In hot work treatment, directly hot work the piece to reduce the thickness from 3.0
    in. to 0.429 in. as follows:

    Substitute for and 3 in. for .

    Hence hot work the piece up to percent of 85.7%, to obtain the thickness of 0.429
    in.

    2)

    Now cold work the piece up to a percent to obtain the final thickness of 0.3 in. from
    0.429 in. as follows:

    Substitute for and 0.3 in. for .

    Hence cold work the piece up to percent of 30%, to obtain the final thickness of 0.3
    in.

    Hence the steps for hot work treatment to reduce the thickness of plate from 3 in. to
    0.3 in. include the following:

    1. Hot work the piece directly up to percent of 85.7%, to obtain the thickness of
    0.429 in. from 3 in.

    2. Then cold work the piece up to a percent of 30%, to reduce the thickness from
    0.429 in. to 0.3 in.
