Effect of cold work on toughness

Effect of cold work on toughness

Effect of cold work on toughness

(OP)
In general, on low alloy steels, (API 2Y gr. 50 for instance), what is the effect of cold work on toughness.  If for example you cold bend a plate and strain the outer fiber 5-10%, how would CVN tests compare to unstrained plate?

Thanks, that is helpfull info!

RE: Effect of cold work on toughness

A related question:
When AWT specimens are removed from a small dia pipe (In my case from a 6.625" OD, 6.7 mm WT API 5L X70 welded with 80 ksi consumables, due to the curvature of the pipe the AWT specimen has to be straightened. This not only reduces the % elongation (The ductility of the material  drops due to the work hardening), but the YS also drops. What is expected for the UTS and any explanations for the drop in the YS?

Thanks and regards

The yield strength of metals is established during a tensile test based on the application of stress along a single direction, and one direction only. By definition, this is the yield strength of the metal.

However, if additional stresses are present either applied or residual, it is the effective stress and not the principal stress that determines if yielding will occur in metals. The effective stress is determined using the familiar von Mises criteria for yielding;

Effective stress = {[(?1-?2)^2+(?2-?3)^2+(?3-?1)^2]0.5}/?2

If the effective stress caused by the application of the principal and residual stress is higher than the yield strength, the material will yield. So, the measured stress in one direction can be a lower value because of the added residual stresses that were induced during straightening of the test specimen.

The UTS is typically not affected by residual stress because after the yiled point has been reached, the fracture strength is governed by strain along a principal direction until fracture.

Unfortunately, when I copied the von Mises equation for some reason the math functions and symbols did not transfer properly. The equation should read

sigma effective stress = [{(sigma 1 - sigma 2)^2 + (sigma 2 - sigma 3)^2 +(sigma 3 - sigma 1)^2}^0.5]/square root 2
