Drawing of the wire of low-carbon steel: plasticity resource, optimal reduction, structure, properties

TL;DR

This paper investigates how deformation affects the plasticity resource of low-carbon steel during wire drawing, combining theoretical and experimental studies, including microscopic observations of damage accumulation.

Contribution

It introduces a combined theoretical and experimental approach to analyze damage and plasticity in steel during wire drawing, utilizing SEM observations.

Findings

Deformation impacts the plasticity resource of steel 45.

Damage accumulation can be observed using SEM.

Theoretical models align with experimental damage data.

Abstract

The work considers the effect of deformation on the exhaustion of the plasticity resource of steel 45 after the drawing deformation. The results of theoretical and experimental studies of damage accumulation are listed. A possibility of employment of a scanning electron microscope to observe submicropores is demonstrated.
