A cylindrical rod of brass originally 10 mm in diameter is to be cold worked by drawing. The circular cross section will be maintained during deformation. A cold-worked tensile strength in excess of 380 MPa and a ductility of at least 15 %EL are desired. Furthermore, the final diameter must be 7.5 mm. Explain how this may be accomplished. Use the graphs given in previous question.

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

original diameter [tex]d_o[/tex] = 10 mm

final diameter [tex]d_f =[/tex] 7.5 mm

Cold work tensile strength of brass = 380 MPa

Recall that;

[tex]\text {The percentage CW }= \dfrac{\pi (\dfrac{d_o}{2})^2 - \pi(\dfrac{d_f}{2})^2 }{\pi(\dfrac{d_o}{2})^2} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{\pi (\dfrac{10}{2})^2 - \pi(\dfrac{7.5}{2})^2 }{\pi(\dfrac{10}{2})^2} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]\implies43.87\% \ CW[/tex]

→ At 43.87% CW, Brass has a tensile strength of around 550 MPa, which is greater than 380 MPa.

→ At 43.87% CW, the ductility is less than 5% EL, As a result, the conditions aren't met.

To achieve 15% EL, 28% CW is allowed at most

i.e

The lower bound cold work = 15%

The upper cold work = 28%

The average = [tex]\dfrac{15+28}{2}[/tex] = 21.5 CW

Now, after the first drawing, let the final diameter be [tex]d_o^'[/tex]; Then:

[tex]4.5\% \ CW = \dfrac{\pi (\dfrac{d_o^'}{2})^2 - (\dfrac{7.5}{2})^2}{\pi (\dfrac{d_o^'}{2})^2}\times 100[/tex]

By solving:

[tex]d_o^'} = 8.46 mm[/tex]

To meet all of the criteria raised by the question, we must first draw a wire with a diameter of 8.46 mm and then 21.5 percent CW on it.
