The work-hardening behavior of Cu–Ni alloys with high stacking-fault energies (SFEs) is experimentally investigated under uniaxial compression. It is found that, with the increase of Ni content (or short-range clustering, SRC), the flow stress of Cu–Ni alloys is significantly increased, which is mainly attributed to an enhanced contribution of work-hardening. An unexpected multistage (including Stages A, B, and C) work-hardening process was found in this alloy, and such a work-hardening behavior is essentially related to the existence of SRC structures in alloys. Specifically, during deformation in Stage B (within the strain range of 0.04–0.07), the forming tendency to planar-slip dislocation structures becomes enhanced with an increase of SRC content (namely, increase of Ni content), leading to the occurrence of work-hardening rate recovery in the Cu–20at.% Ni alloy. In short, increasing SRC in the Cu–Ni alloy can trigger an unexpected multistage work-hardening process, and thus improve its work-hardening capacity.

The behavior of work hardening by cold rolling and tensile deformation was investigated in an ultralow carbon and carbon bearing martensitic steels, and then the effect of carbon on the work hardening behavior was discussed in terms of the change in dislocation density and the microstructure development during deformation. In the ultralow carbon 18%Ni steel (20ppmC), the hardness is almost constant irrespective of the reduction ratio. On the other hand, the carbon bearing 18%Ni steel (890ppmC) exhibits marked work hardening. The dislocation density of these specimens was confirmed to be never increased by cold rolling. It was also found that 10% cold rolling gives no significant influence on the morphology of martensite packet and block structure. TEM images of the 10% cold-rolled steels revealed that the martensite laths in the ultralow carbon steel are partially vanished, while those in the carbon bearing steel are stably remained. These results indicate that the solute carbon retards the movement of dislocations, which results in the high work hardening rate through the formation of fine dislocation substructure within laths.

As a representative type of superalloy, Inconel 718 is widely employed in aerospace, marine and nuclear industries. The significant work hardening behavior of Inconel 718 can improve the service performance of components; nevertheless, it cause extreme difficulty in machining. This paper aims to investigate the influence of chamfered edge parameters on work hardening in orthogonal cutting of Inconel 718 based on a novel hybrid method, which integrates Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method and grain-size-based functions considering the influence of grain size on microhardness. Orthogonal cutting experiments and nanoindentation tests are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The predicted results are highly consistent with the experimental results. The depth of work hardening layer increases with increasing chamfer angle and chamfer width, also with increasing feed rate (the uncut chip thickness). However, the maximum microhardness on the machined surface does not exhibit a significant difference. The proposed method can provide theoretical guidance for the optimization of cutting parameters and improvement of the work hardening.

The localized deformation behavior of annealed Al and Al severely deformed by ECAE process was determined by using microindentation test. Using the method proposed by Tabor, the indentation stress-strain curves of annealed Al and as-ECAE deformed Al were constructed, which display similar work-hardening behavior. For annealed Al, the altitude of the indentation stressstrain curves is a function of the indenter size. A master curve then is constructed, which displays different work-hardening behavior. For the ECAE deformed Al, the indentation stress-strain curves are independent of the indenter size, suggesting that the microstructure inside the as-ECAE deformed Al is different from the annealed Al.
