How to Calculate and Solve for Percentage Reduction in Area, Ductility | Mechanical Properties

The image above represents percentage reduction in area, ductility. To calculate percentage reduction in area, ductility, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Final Area (A1) and Initial Area (A0).

The formula for calculating percentage reduction in area, ductility:

%RA = 100((A0 – A1)/A0)

Where:

%RA = Percentage Reduction in Area, Ductility
A0 = Initial Area
A1 = Final Area

Let’s solve an example;
Find the percentage reduction in area, ductility when the final area is 25 and the initial area is 5.

This implies that;

A1 = Final Area = 25
A0 = Initial Area = 5

%RA = 100((A0 – A1)/A0)
%RA = 100((5 – 25)/5)
So, %RA = 100((-20)/5)
%RA = 100(-4)
%RA = -400

Therefore, the percentage reduction in area, ductility is -400%.
