Effect of Varying Cold-Drawing Deformation on Residual Stresses Measured by Neutron Diffraction in Steel Rods

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cold-drawing is employed to fabricate wires and rods, which are mainly used as structural reinforcements in construction as well as in the tyre industry. As a consequence of processing, a residual stress profile is developed. In this paper, residual stress profiles are measured by neutron diffraction in cold-drawn pearlitic steel rods subjected to different deformations (true strain from 0.3 to 1.7). The results show that the residual stress profile produced by cold-drawing is similar in all the samples, irrespective of the degree of deformation.
