Cold-drawn pearlitic steel wires have attracted considerable interest because of their
excellent combination of strength and ductility. The physical interpretation of these …

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 …

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 …

This paper provides a definition and identification of a new (non-conventional)
microstructural unit in cold drawn pearlitic steel: the pearlitic pseudocolony, a special …

This paper deals with notch-induced anisotropic fracture behavior of progressively cold
drawn pearlitic steels on the basis of their microstructural evolution during manufacturing by …

In this paper, the fracture performance of axisymmetric notched samples taken from
prestressing steels with different levels of cold drawing is studied. Fractographic analysis of …

This paper analyses the role of cold drawing in the fatigue and fracture behaviour of pearlitic
steels with distinct drawing degree (a hot rolled bar and a commercial prestressing steel …

This paper deals with the influence of the cold drawing process on the fracture behaviour of
pearlitic steels. To this end, fracture tests under axial loading were performed on steel wires …
