How to Calculate and Solve for Strain Hardening Percent of Cold Work | Deformation

Last Updated on December 19, 2022

The image above represents strain hardening percent of cold work.

To compute for strain hardening percent of cold work, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Original Area of Cross Section (Aoand Area after Deformation (Ad).

The formula for calculating strain hardening percent of cold work:

%CW = 100((Ao – Ad)/Ao)

Where:

%CW = Strain Hardening Percent of Cold Work
Ao = Original Area of Cross Section
Ad = Area After Deformation

Given an example;
Find the strain hardening percent of cold work when the original area of cross section is 21 and the area after deformation is 7.

This implies that;

Ao = Original Area of Cross Section = 21
Ad = Area After Deformation = 7

%CW = 100((Ao – Ad)/Ao)
%CW = 100((21 – 7)/21)
%CW = 100((14)/21)
%CW = 100(0.66)
%CW = 66.6

Therefore, the strain hardening percent of cold work is 66.6%.
