Abstract
The work-hardening behaviour of Hadfield's steel and the effect of vanadium additions have been examined. At room temperature, deformation twinning plays a significant role. The rate of work-hardening was found to be sensitive to the presence of vanadium above 1 wt%. Transmission electron microscopy studies indicate that the work-hardening is due to a combination of structural defects. The mechanical behaviour of the alloys in compression can be described by a mathematical expression derived from the familiar Ludwik expression.
