Question

A cylindrical 1040 steel rod having a minimum tensile strength of 865 MPa (125,000 psi), a ductility of at least 10%EL, and a final diameter of 6.0 mm (0.25 in.) is desired. Some 7.94 mm (0.313 in.) diameter 1040 steel stock, which has been cold worked 20% is available. Describe the procedure you would follow to obtain this material. Assume that 1040 steel experiences cracking at 40%CW

Answer 1

procedure attached below

The material to be used will have a %Cw of 34.5%Cw which is < 40%Cw

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Minimum tensile strength = 865 MPa

Ductility = 10%EL

Desired Final diameter = 6.0 mm

20% cold worked 7.94 mm diameter 1040 steel stock

Describe the procedure you would follow to obtain this material.

assuming 1040 steel experiences cracking at 40%CW

attached below is a detailed procedure of obtaining the material

The material to be used will have a %Cw of 34.5%Cw which is < 40%Cw
