The effect of a non-circular drawing sequence on spheroidization of medium carbon steel wires

This paper discusses experimental studies aiming to determine the effect of the drawing method on the lubrication conditions, zinc coating mass and mechanical properties of medium-carbon steel wires. The test material was 5.5 mm-diameter galvanized wire rod which was drawn into 2.2 mm-diameter wire in seven draws at a drawing speed of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 20 m/s, respectively. Conventional and hydrodynamic dies with a working portion angle of α = 5° were used for the drawing process. It has been shown that using hydrodynamic dies in the process of multi-stage drawing of zinc-coated wire improves the lubrication conditions, which leads to a reduction in friction at the wire/die interface. As a consequence, wires drawn hydrodynamically, as compared to wires drawn conventionally, are distinguished by a thicker zinc coating and better mechanical and technological properties.

This study was mainly oriented on the evolution of the crystallographic texture as a function of the deformation resulting from the industrial wire drawing process. This, in fact, will make it possible to establish a relationship between the microstructure and the crystallographic texture in the medium carbon steel wires obtained by industrial wire drawing process and used in the manufacture of spring mattresses in order to minimize the loss of material and to satisfy the users of this product.During this study, a medium-carbon steel wires was characterized by two analytical techniques. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to monitor the microstructure evolution and the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) for the crystallographic texture analysis. The EBSD results are processed with OIM (Orientation Imaging Microscopy) analysis software.

Quenching And Tempering

One of ways to improve properties of materials without changing the product shape toobtain the desired engineering applications is heating and cooling under effect of controlledsequence of heat treatment. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect ofheating and cooling on the surface roughness, microstructure and some selected propertiessuch as the hardness and impact strength of Medium Carbon Steel which treated at differenttypes of heat treatment processes. Heat treatment achieved in this work was respectively,heating, quenching and tempering. The specimens were heated to 850°C and left for 45minutes inside the furnace as a holding time at that temperature, then quenching process wasperformed in four types of quenching media (still air, cold water (2°C), oil and polymersolution), respectively. Thereafter, the samples were tempered at 200°C, 400°C, and 600°Cwith one hour as a soaking time for each temperature, then were all cooled by still air. Whenthe heat treatment process was completed, the surface roughness, hardness, impact strengthand microstructure tests were performed. The results showed a change and clearimprovement of surface roughness, mechanical properties and microstructure afterquenching was achieved, as well as the change that took place due to the increasingtoughness and ductility by reducing of brittleness of samples.
