Two previously undeformed specimens of the same metal are to be plastically deformed by reducing their cross-sectional areas. One has a circular cross section, and the other is rectangular; during deformation the circular cross section is to remain circular, and the rectangular is to remain rectangular. Their original and deformed dimensions are as follows:
| Circular (diameter, mm) | Rectangular (mm) |
Original dimensions | 15.2 | 125 × 175 |
Deformed dimensions | 11.4 | 75 × 200 |
Which of these specimens will be the hardest after plastic deformation, and why?
