Condition : We need bend with tube[ OD -44.5mm x thk(t)- 6.35mm] of SA213 TP347H of nominal bending
radius(R) 65mm radius through cold forming. The design temperature is 590˚C. What will be strain
value ?. Whether the heat treatment required ? If required , then what will be Temperature and time ?
During cold forming, mechanical properties – eg: tensile properties( Yield strength , elongation) , hardness, etc
are proportionally changes based on strained developed. Due to excessive straining, there will be affect on
the material performance during service. Hence heat treatment is required to check in this Stainless steel
Material as per Table PG-19 ASME Sec I. The heat treatment requirement based on strain developed and
design temperature of material.
The formulas for the strain calculation for various shapes formed of material as given below ( As per PG -19
ASME Sec I)
