TL;DR: In this article, a 3D finite element (FE) model of the cold hole expansion process by means of spherical mandrelling (SM) has been developed, and the actual spherical motion of the tool and the optimal value of the angle of nutation have been found through numerical minimization of the lost available work functional.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the hardening of a medium carbon structural steel from the point of view of the material behaviour during the cold expansion process of holes in structural steel components.
