Abstract
Various work hardening mechanisms, on the basis of their characteristics, are classified into two categories: the pile-up hardening and the tangle hardening. Together with a discussion about the experimental investigations of work hardening, the descriptions for those two basic hardening mechanisms are suggested, respectively. Combining these descriptions, a new single crystal hardening law is proposed, which can be used to describe work hardening, particularly the cyclic hardening of a crystal grain in a polycrystalline material. Furthermore, some relevant discussion on the new single crystal hardening law is also made in this paper.
