Strain hardening exponent Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Strain hardening exponent?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
n=ln(σT)-ln(K)ln(ϵT)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
n=ln(10MPa)-ln(600MPa)ln(0.01)
Next Step Convert Units
n=ln(1E+7Pa)-ln(6E+8Pa)ln(0.01)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
n=ln(1E+7)-ln(6E+8)ln(0.01)
Next Step Evaluate
n=0.889075625191822
LAST Step Rounding Answer
n=0.8891
