Chapter 14
Strain-Induced Transformations in Materials: Improving Properties by Controlled Deformation
Learning Objectives
After careful study of this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
1. Describe several ways that strain during processing can favorably alter the structure of crystalline or semi-crystalline materials to develop improved properties.
2. Describe and explain the sequential processes of cold work, recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth, including associated changes to the grain structure and to key properties of tensile strength, hardness, ductility, and electrical conductivity.
3. Explain the basis for the strain-induced transformation of austenite to martensite, including potential applications and potential ...
