Question

Starting with a 2-inch diameter rod of brass, we would like to process 0.2-inch diameter rods that possess minimum yield strength of 40 ksi and a minimum elongation to fracture of 40%, (see the following figure). Design a process that achieves that.

Explanation / Answer

Hot extrusion to convert into smaller diametr

Cold extrusion to further elongate

Annealing for increasing the ductility

Heat treatment for increasing strength

Cold working for imcreasing fracture toughness
