Effects of Stress on Metals

  • Chapter
A Text-Book of Metallurgy

Abstract

WHEN metals are stressed, they become deformed. The deformation may be wholly temporary, that is elastic; or, in addition, permanent deformation may result. The subject may be considered from two major aspects: (1) permanent deformation intentionally carried out, as in working and shaping processes; and (2) the behaviour of metals in service under stress.
