Abstract
A PAPER by Prof. H. W. Swift on the torsional effects of torsional overstrain in mild steel, which had been prepared for presentation at the cancelled Cardiff Autumn Meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute, has been abridged and is published in Engineering of October 20. The usefulness of a material for manipulative processes in which severe plastic deformation is involved, depends primarily on the range of elastic flow to which it can safely be subjected. This depends in turn on, first, the stress-strain characteristics for the material within the elastic range; secondly, the stress-strain characteristics for the material within the plastic range; and thirdly the cohesive properties of the material which resist rupture.
