To counteract the bad effects of strain hardening on a cold formed part, it must be ______________________?

Correct answer: C. Annealed

  • A. Tempered
  • B. Normalised
  • C. Annealed
  • D. Hardened

Explanation

Annealing softens a cold-worked part and restores ductility by relieving residual stresses and reducing the effects of strain hardening. Tempering is normally applied to hardened steel, while normalising does not specifically reverse cold-work hardening as effectively.
