INTRODUCTION
 Literature Review

G. Mukhopadhay et.al., 2009

Pre-strain can increased the hardness, yield strength, and tensile strength, but lowers the
percentage of elongation.

(Sasayama, et al. 1955)

Many kind of welding methods, the type of material, form of the weld structure (etc.) result
in the shrinkage of the welding process, and it is difficult to overcome.

Ghost et. al., 2012

The creep strain rate and ductility of hot rolled sheet plate was more greater when
compared to AISI 316 is undergoing a process of annealing.
 Kumar, et al. 1991

Shape, orientation, and grain size of microstructure can be use to determine the
mechanical properties and also defect inside of materials

(Ahmedabadi, et al. 2012)

Cold rolling process followed by strain annealing on 575°C and 675°C will increase twin
fraction and decrease the grain size of materials.

Based on this literature review, the

aim of this study is to study the
material response due pre-strain
