What is the effect of strain hardening on the material?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Strain hardening

When a material is being plastically deformed, then the strength of the ductile material will increase, and this phenomenon is known as strain hardening. When the strength of the material increases due to the strain hardening, at the same time, ductility of the material will decrease.
