Description:
In the present work, processes of multi-pass cold drawn were conducted on hypereutectoid pearlite steel wires with carbon content of 1.02 w.t.%. Relationship between microstructural development and mechanical properties of hypereutectoid steel wires after drawing was investigated. It was found that when the strain was relatively small, lamellar morphology of the pearlite in the steel wire after cold drawn remained, and the spacing of lamella was refined. With the increase of the compression ratio, coordinated deformation of ferrite and cementite occurred and pearlite lamella were bended and folded. As the strain increased, fibrous morphology of pearlite lamella was observed in longitudinal section of the wire. High magnification TEM observation revealed the fragmentation of cementite and a large number of nano-crystalline. Tensile strength, microhardness and torsion strength of the steel wires after multi-pass drawn process increased significantly with the increase of accumulate...
