Microstructural refinement to the nanoscale imparts tremendous strength to metals while
following the Hall-Petch relationship. However, most manufacturing methods to make …

The splitting phenomenon during drawing will cause the quality decline of wire. A clear
understanding of formation mechanism of splitting can help to promote the development of …

In this paper a study is presented of the tensile fracture behavior of progressively-drawn
pearlitic steels obtained from five different cold-drawing chains, including each drawing step …

This papers deals with fracture behavior and structural integrity of progressively cold-drawn
pearlitic steels on the basis of their microstructural evolution during manufacturing by multi …

The fatigue behavior of pearlitic steels in wheel-rails is correlated to the microstructure.
However, existing models do barely take this correlation into account. In this work, we …

Inclusion is one of the main causes for unqualified wire. However, the forming mechanism of
drawing fracture due to inclusions is still unclear. Therefore, it is significant to figure out the …

The automotive field is continuously researching safer, high-strength, ductile materials.
Nowadays, dual-phase (DP) steels are gaining importance, since they meet all these …

In this paper an exhaustive scientific work is performed, by means of metallographic and
scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques, of the microstructural defects exhibited by …

This paper studies the drawing-induced intercolonial microdamage (ICMD) in pearlitic
microstructures. The analysis was performed from the direct observation of the …

This paper studies the notch-induced anisotropic fracture behaviour in progressively cold
drawn pearlitic steels. The necessity is emphasized of both stress triaxiality (constraint) and …
