A. Grabianowski et al., DETERMINATION OF HARDNESS DISTRIBUTION IN RODS AFTER COMBINED ROLLINGAND DRAWING DEFORMATIONS, Materials science and technology, 10(3), 1994, pp. 227-232
A method of computer simulation of the process of strain hardening in
rods of circular cross-section subjected to deformation in a rolling-d
rawing process is presented. Such simulation allows the determination
of the magnitude of the deformations induced by the rolling and drawin
g to obtain a particular cross-sectional hardness distribution in the
rod. The application of this method permits, in particular, the determ
ination of the conditions under which a rod subjected to combined roll
ing-drawing deformation will exhibit uniform hardness. The method was
experimentally verified for Cu-30Zn rods.
