DOM Tubing % Work Hardening?

DOM Tubing % Work Hardening?

DOM Tubing % Work Hardening?

(OP)
Is there a common method for estimating the % work hardening and/or yield strength / TS improvement for a given material for DOM versus as welded thin wall ERW tubing?

Are there any good references for this type of analysis?

RE: DOM Tubing % Work Hardening?

The amount of work hardening varies depending on how much reduction is done on the draw bench. I would use the published strength of DOM tubes. Your source for your tubing can help you.

RE: DOM Tubing % Work Hardening?

That is why it is drawn to various grades, so that you know what strength you will get.
Also remember that steels don't work harden much.  It takes a lot of cold work to raise the strength much.
