Assertion (A): Cold working a fastener hole substantially improves its fatigue life.

Reason (R): It leaves the material round the hole in residual compression.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: D

Both are true and the second explains the first. Applied tensile cycles must first overcome that compression before the hole edge experiences tension, and improvements of three to five times in life are routinely achieved.
