Cold-Worked Structure in Metals and Alloys: 3 Categories | Metallurgy

Cold-working produces structural changes in polycrystalline metals and alloys, which can be broadly classified in three categories: 1. Changes in Shape and Size of Grains 2. Changes in Orientation of Grains 3. Changes in Internal Structure of the Grains. Category # 1. Changes in Shape and Size of Grains: Commercial metals and alloys are polycrystalline in nature in which the [...]
