5.A non-cold-worked brass specimen of average grain size 0.01 mm has a yield strength of 150 MPa. Estimate the yield strength of this alloy after it has been heated to 500°C for 1000 s, if it is known that the value of σ0 is 25 MPa.

97.17 MPa

Explanation:

Given:-

- The nominal strength of the grain, σ0  = 25 MPa

- The average grain size of the brass specimen, d* = 0.01 m

- The yield strength of the non-cold worked specimen, σy = 150 MPa

- Conditions of cold-working: T = 500°C , t = 1000 s

Find:-

Estimate the yield strength of this alloy after cold - working process

Solution:-

- The nominal strength of the grain is a function of yield strength of the material, grain yield factor ( Ky ) and the grain size.

- the following relation is used to determine the grain strength:

                             σ0  = σy  - ( Ky / √( d ) )

- We will use the above relation to determine the grain yield factor ( Ky ) for the alloy as follows. Note: here we will use the average value of grain size:

                            Ky = ( σy  - σy )*√( d* )

                            Ky = ( 150 - 25 ) * √0.01

                            Ky = 12.5 MPa - √mm

- Now we will use the cold working conditions of T = 500 C and time of the process is t = 1000 s. We will look up the elongated size of the grain after the cold-working process in lieu with its yield factor ( Ky ). Use figure 7.25.

- The cold-worked grain size with the given conditions can be read off from the figure 7.25. The new size comes out to be d = 0.03 mm.

- We will again use the nominal grain strength relation expressed initially. And compute for the new yield strength of the cold-worked alloy.

                            σ0  = σy  - ( Ky / √( d ) )

                            σy = σ0 + ( Ky / √( d ) )

                            σy = 25MPa + ( 12.5 / √( 0.03 mm ) )

                            σy = 97.17 MPa

- We see that the yield strength of the alloy decreases after cold-working process. This happens because the cold working process leaves with inter-granular strain ( dislocation of planes ) in the material structure which results from the increase in grain size.

it was a fall down when it happens
