STRAIN HARDENING OF AUSTENITIC STEELS XII Strain hardening is the increase in strength and hardness that results from plastic deformation below the recrystallization temperature (cold work). This effect is produced in austenitic stainless stels by reducing over- size bars oF wire tothe desired final size by cold drawing, or other process. The degree of strain hardenirg achiev- able in any alloy is limited by its strain hardening charac teristics. In addition, the amount of strain hardening that can be produced is further limited by the variables of the process, such as the total amount of cross-section reduction, die angle and bar size. In large diameter bars, for example, plastic deformation will occur principally in the outer regions of the bar, so that the increased strength and hardness due o strain hardening is achieved $36 predominantly near the surface of the bar. ‘That is, the smaller the bar, the greater the penetration of strain hard- ening. ‘X1.2 Thus, the mechanical properties of a given strain hardened fastener are dependent not just on the alloy, but also on the size of bar from which it is machined. The ‘minimum bar size that can be used, however, is estab- lished by the configuration of the fastener, so that the ‘configuration can affect the strength of the fastener. X13 For example, a stud of a particular alloy and size may be machined from a smaller diameter bar than bolt of the same alloy and size because a larger diameter bar is required to accommodate the head of the bolt. The stud, therefore, is likely to be stronger than the same size bolt in a given alloy.
