Work Hardening During Machining
(OP)
Is there some way that I can predict from the chemistry of a steel how badly it will work harden when it is ground and or machined?

RE: Work Hardening During Machining
So what I am looking for is some way of quntifying the amount of work hardening even if that is no more sustifacted than - yes, maybe, and no.

1. This can become complicated in alloys where transformations take place (martensite formation, overtempering of previously Q&T steels, etc.).
2. If all you need is quantification, then measuring microhardness on a cross-sectioned piece will be easier than trying to predict based on chemistry.
3. Predicting based on chemistry will require knowledge of the microstructure as well, since this is have as much of an effect if not more.

Is there some way we can look it up even if it is just a range?
Thanks for the assist. this one has been bugging me for some time. Anything you can contribute is helpfull

I can probalby even develop a table of typical values for "standard" materials using MatWeb for my sales and applications guys.
Looking forward to yor book!
