What is Work Hardening Steel?

In general, work hardening is the strengthening of a material or polymer by plastic deformation. This strengthening happens because of dislocation movements and dislocation generation inside the crystal structure of the material. As the material is deformed, these dislocations interfere with the motion of grains within the structure, which increases the energy needed for further deformation, effectively making the material harder and stronger.
