Abstract
Work hardening was the earliest method used by man to strengthen metals; the phenomena has been understood for many years as being due to elastic interactions between individual mobile dislocations and groups of dislocations. The details of such interactions have been incorporated into a number of work-hardening theories, which have attempted to correlate various experimental observations such as slip-line lengths, slip-step heights, dislocation arrangements and dislocation densities. However, the dislocation substructures are very complicated and many simplifying assumptions are required in order to calculate work-hardening rates quantitatively.
