ME 303

r bar is to be cold rolled into a section which must have a min. tensile strength of 390 MPa. If the final cross-sectional area is 20.13 mm2 and assuming the flow properties of the workpiece material are given as K = 450 MPa, n = 0.33. Calculate the followings: a) The tensile strength of the annealed material. b) The initial diameter of the copper bar. Solution It is important to understand the question well. In this question, the copper bar is annealed first then a cold rolling operation...
