Chapter 8, Problem 8.33P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The range of final thickness of cu-30% Zn brass plate needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Cold work in process in which metal is formed below its recrystallization temperature cold work increase ductility and reduce strength.

% cold work formula is given by

  $\%cw[\frac{t_0-t_1}{t_0}]\times 100$

Here,

  $\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}\%CW=\%\text{ cold work}\hfill \\ t_0=\text{Initial thickness}\hfill \end{array}\\ t_1=\text{Final thickness}\end{array}$
