At present for wire production various methods of drawing are used. To choose an effective drawing method or their combination, a methodology is needed to estimate existing and new methods of drawing. A methodology of simultaneous estimation of strain-stress state of carbon wire in the area of deformation and force conditions of drawing presented. Based on it an analysis of drawing in monolith dies, roller dies of radial-shear broach, classic two- and multi-roller dies was carried out. A module-combined method of drawing was also considered. Recommended modes of reduction for drawing in monolith dies presented. It was shown that to obtain a wire of 4.0 mm diameter max, the drawing in monolith dies is most effective. For production of wire of larger diameters, roller dies are more advisable. Application of the technology of radial-shear deformation enables to obtain a fine-grained structure in the surface layers of wire. It was shown that application of a module comprising a roller die and a monolith die is most effective. An example of drawing of a round wire from 8.0 mm diameter to 3.0 mm diameter by a route developed with their application considered. Recommendations on application of various methods of drawing for wires of diameter from 0.007 mm to 15.0 mm presented.

It is known that casting long ingots of small sections (∅8–12 mm) of 01417 alloy into an electromagnetic crystallizer makes it possible to obtain a dispersed structure with insignificant intradendritic segregation. Diffusion annealing of ingots (550 °C, 4–5 h holding time) eliminates intracrystalline segregation and reduces the level of internal stresses in metal thus providing the conditions for subsequent wire drawing. The paper demonstrates that high plastic deformation of ingots without diffusion annealing can be achieved by Conform continuous extrusion, which ensures high quality and geometrical accuracy of products. The analysis of various Conform units revealed an inherent weakness – the absence of connection between the system securing the fixed part of the detachable container (shoe) and the drive wheel shaft, which leads to an increased load in the operating mode. The purpose of the work was to upgrade the Conform unit by creating a connection between the shoe and the impeller shaft to obtain a high-quality billet for subsequent wire drawing of the ∅12 mm ingot cast into the electromagnetic crystallizer. An optimal temperature of ingot extrusion (300 °С) was found to eliminate the intense adhesion of wrought metal on the tool surface. The experimental ∅5 mm rod made of 01417 alloy obtained from the ∅12 mm ingot at the Conform unit features high processing ductility. This is indicated by an increase in its yield point and relative elongation. Metallographic studies demonstrated a fine-grained structure achieved in the extruded rod, which provides the conditions for subsequent wire drawing without annealing. The results of the study provide a basis for refining the process conditions of calibrated billet production on the Conform unit followed by wire drawing with required properties.

In recent years, due to its low density and high strength/weight ratio, magnesium alloy wires has been considered for application in many fields, such as welding, electronics, medical field (for production of stents). But for those purposes, we need to acquire wires with high strength and ductility. For that we purpose we proposed alternate drawing method, which is supposed to highly decrease the shearing strain near the surface of the wire after drawing, by changing the direction of the wire drawing with each pass and thus acquiring high ductility wires.We have done research on the cold alternate drawing of magnesium alloy wires, by conducting wire drawing of several magnesium wires and testing their strength, hardness, structure, surface and also finite element analysis, we have proven the increase of ductility at the expense of some strength.In this research we are looking to further improve the quality of the drawn wires by examining the benefits of using diamond dies over tungsten carbine dies. Using the alternate drawing method reduces the strength of the drawn wires and thus lowering their drawing limit. By using diamond dies we are aiming to decrease the drawing stress and further increase the drawing limit of the alternate drawn wires and also improve the quality of the finishing surface of the wires. With this in mind we are aiming to produce a good quality wire with low diameter, high ductility, high strength and fine wire surface.

Fracture toughness (K1C) of medium carbon steel (0.5% C) has been determined by round notched tensile specimen. Two notch diameters (5.6mm and 4.2mm) and three notch angles (α) namely 45°, 60° and 75° have been used to observe the effect of notch diameters and notch angle on fracture toughness of the steel. By heat treatment the microstructure of the steel is also varied and its effect on the fracture toughness is also observed. It has been found that fine grained structure improves fracture toughness. Lower notch diameter and higher notch angle show higher value of K1C.

The Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) site of Yiftahel, Israel, contains abundant plaster floors. We surveyed the states of preservation of the plasters using an infrared spectroscopic assay that characterizes the extent of disorder of the atoms in the calcite crystal lattice. We identified the 3 best-preserved plaster samples that had disorder signatures most similar to modern plaster. We then studied the surface layers, fine-grained matrices, and large aggregates of these samples using micromorphology, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy, stable carbon and radiocarbon concentrations. Even though some of the plaster components have a geogenic appearance in micromorphology slides and in FTIR spectra, the 14C analyses show that all components were exposed to high temperatures and as a result were equilibrated with the 14C content of the atmosphere ∼10,000 yr ago. This implies that the plasters at Yiftahel were produced entirely from heat-altered calcite. We also show that these plasters have undergone significant diagenesis. The plaster component with the most disordered atomic signature, and hence the most similar in this respect to modern plaster, did indeed produce a 14C date close to the expected age.

Architectured copper clad aluminium composites processed by a restacking drawing method at room temperature are reported in this work. Wires were drawn to severe plastic strain without any intermediate annealing. Three different diameters were studied in order to examine the influence of a different plastic deformation level on the structure of the different wires. Thanks to image processing it has been shown that independently of the plastic deformation, inserted fibers remain continuous and are homogeneous in size and shape. Furthermore, XRD and TEM characterizations confirm that there is no significant intermetallic growth during the deformation. Thus, the improvement and/or degradation of the functional properties of the wires can be well controlled by performing an appropriate post-processing annealing treatment.

The principles of jet electrodeposition orientated by rapid prototyping were introduced. The nanocrystalline nickel parts with simple shape were fabricated using jet electrodeposition. The microstructure and phase transformation of nanocrystalline nickel were observed under the scanning microscope and X-ray diffraction instrument. The results show that the jet electrodeposition can greatly enhance the limited current density, fine crystalline particles and improve deposition quality. The nickel parts prepared by jet electrodeposition own a fine-grained structure (average grain size 25.6nm) with a smooth surface and high dimensional accuracy under the optimum processing parameters.

The study considers the formation of the structure, texture, and hardness of hot extruded tube of titanium alloy PT-1M. It is shown that hot extrusion at 840 °C, which is higher than the α-phase recrystallization temperature, results to the development of dynamic and primary recrystallization processes and ensures the formation of homogeneous and fine-grained structure through-out the cross section with a two-component tangential texture (0001)TD<100>ED+(0001)TD<110>ED (TD – tangential direction, ED – extrusion direction) and hardness of 155 HV. It has been established that a higher cooling rate of the surface areas of the tube after extrusion results to a less active development of recrystallization processes, which lead to the formation of a finer granular structure near the outer surface. This weakens recrystallization component of (0001)TD<110>ED, compared to other areas of the tube.

In the present study, a mixture of powders (87.9 at.% Ni, 12 at.% Al, 0.1 at.% B) was used as the initial material to produce sintered Ni3Al + B alloy. Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method was used to compact the powder. The powder mixtures were previously prepared in two ways: mixing the initial powders in a mortar (М1) and mechanical activation (М2). The microstructure was observed using optical microscope (OM). The addition of small amount of boron to the initial mixture of nickel and aluminum improves the density of the sintered Ni3Al intermetallic compound (98.8%). The results of density, bending and microhardness tests showed, that the provisional three-minute mechanical activation improves almost all properties of the sintered material. The compact obtained by SPS by M2 contributes to the formation of a homogeneous fine-grained structure of the material. It leads to further increase in flexural bending strength up to 2200 MPa. This value is almost 8 times the strength of the intermetallic Ni3Al stoichiometric composition obtained by SPS.
