Munkahardítást
Munkahardítást is a Hungarian term that translates to "work hardening" or "strain hardening" in English. It is a metallurgical phenomenon that occurs in ductile metals when they are plastically deformed. This deformation can be caused by processes such as rolling, drawing, forging, or stretching.
When a metal undergoes plastic deformation, its internal crystal structure, known as the lattice, becomes distorted.
This increased resistance to deformation manifests as a significant increase in the metal's yield strength, tensile
Work hardening is often a desirable effect in manufacturing. For example, it is used to strengthen wires,
