A general expression for flow stress, encompassing temperature, strain,

strain rate,
recrystallisation has been given in the form:
n is strain hardening exponent, m is strain rate sensitivity exponent, T is temp
erature.
Materials are subjected to complex states of stresses during forming. Stress req
uired for
forming, yield or flow stress therefore depends on several factors, such as stra
in, strain
rate, temperature etc.
