Understanding Work Hardening and Annealing of Metals

engineers.acad...
This video outlines the effects of work hardening in metals. During cold forming processes, metals undergo plastic deformation, but this plastic deformation causes dislocations and a disruption of the crystalline structure. As a result, the material becomes harder and stronger.
The heat treatment process known of annealing can be used to restore the properties of the material and undo the effects of work hardening.

I remember this being explAined to me in an engineering course I studied thirty years ago. Your video explained it very well - so much better than how it was taught to me.

Very informative video. I used it with my Engineering class and they all loved it!
