Answer:
First we determine the tensile strength using the equation;
Tₓ (MPa) = 3.45 × HB
{ Tₓ is tensile strength, HB is Brinell hardness = 225 }
therefore
Tₓ = 3.45 × 225
Tₓ = 775 Mpa
From Conclusions, It is stated that in order to achieve a tensile strength of 775 MPa for a steel, the percentage of the cold work should be 10
When the percentage of cold work for steel is up to 10,the ductility is 16% EL.
And 16% EL is greater than 12% EL
Therefore, it is possible to cold work steel to a given minimum Brinell hardness of 225 and at the same time a ductility of at least 12% EL
