Strain hardening and cold rolling do not significantly impact the elastic modulus of materials. The consensus among participants is that the elastic modulus remains relatively insensitive to cold working processes. This conclusion is supported by the understanding that these mechanical processes primarily affect yield strength and ductility rather than the elastic properties of materials.
PREREQUISITESMaterial scientists, mechanical engineers, and professionals involved in manufacturing processes who seek to understand the effects of mechanical processing on material properties.

I can't think of any reason why they would, but just want to make sure.
Thanks.
