This paper presents an extensive survey of literature on the theory of deformation and failure of inhomogeneous materials. Literature concerning deformation and fracture of carbon steels also is reviewed. The best utilization of deformability in cold-working processes translates into increased production, full use of available equipment capacity, and reduction of interannealing operations. In order to know the deformability of materials such as steels, one must know the mechanisms involved in deformation and fracture of nonhomogeneous materials, as well as the plastic fracture criterion. This requires use of metallographic examination techniques.
