Drawing Speed

In the work, the results of the research concerned with the TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) steel wire drawing process in experimental and theoretical ways are shown. The wire drawing process tests on the experimental way were conducted in both laboratories as well as industrial conditions, with the use of two drawing speeds (1.6 and 6 m/s) and two drawing schemes (low and high single reductions). The mechanical properties of wires drawn with high drawing speed equal to 6 m/s showed higher values of mechanical properties for wires drawn with low single reductions than for wires drawn with high single reductions. Such a phenomenon contradicts the theory of drawing wires from steel with a ferritic-pearlitic structure and must be related to TRIP structure and the presence of retained austenite in it, which is transformed into martensite during the deformation process. In order to explain this phenomenon, the theoretical wire drawing process analysis was conducted with the use of the Drawing 2D program based on the finite element method. On the base of the simulation, a large increase in temperature was found on the surface for wires drawn with high drawing speed and low single reductions, which can cause the blocking of transformation retained austenite into martensite and thus a decrease in Rm. To confirm this thesis, further studies will include tests of the amount of retained austenite in wires obtained during experimental tests.

Multiparameter Analysis

The essential purpose of the work was to determine the phenomena that occur in multipass wire drawing process of high carbon steel wires with high speed in hydrodynamic dies and to assess their influence on moulding the wire properties after the drawing process. The multiparameter analysis of the issues has involved the theoretical dissection of the phenomena arising in high speed wire drawing process in hydrodynamic dies with the usage of the finite element method supported by the experimental multipass drawing process in industrial conditions. On the basis of numerical analysis the influence of drawing speed on wire temperature was estimated. For final wires the investigation of mechanical properties, topogrhaphy of wire surface, the amount of lubricant on the wire surface, the pressure of lubricant in hydrodynamic dies were determined.

For the numerical analysis of TRIP steel wire drawing process, the Drawing 2d programme based of finite element method, has been used. The process was run following two variants, with small and large partial drafts for two drawing speeds: 1.11; 0.23 m/s. The investigations carried out allowed a relationship between temperature of drawing wires and the amount of retained austenite for wire surface and for wire axis.

Plastic Deformation Process

The specific properties of TRIP steel can be obtained by the occurring the effect of additional plasticity during transformation of metastable retained austenite into martensite caused by plastic deformation process. Research carried out for highly alloyed austenitic steels with TRIP effect proved the influence of strain intensity, chemical composition and deformation temperature on efficiency marteniste transformation. In the work research concerned with the influence change of drawing speed on retained austenite amount in drawn wires structure was shown. In available literature there are no publications concerned with the influence of wire drawing process parameters on the structure evolution the medium carbon TRIP steel wires. Research shown in the work was realized with the assumption that the strain intensity is determined by scheme of single and total reductions, and the value of strain rate is a result of used in wire drawing process drawing speed.

Strength And Ductility

Cold drawn low carbon steel wires are widely used in several engineering applications where a proper combination of strength and ductility is of the paramount importance. In the present paper, the multi-pass angular accumulative drawing (AAD) is proposed as a new forming process where the high strain accumulation is used as a way to achieve much higher microstructure refinement level compared to the conventional wire drawing process. This process is characterized by a complex strain path history, being an effect of wire diameter reduction, bending, tension and torsion, what directly affects the microstructure changes in the final product. This process also evolves high inhomogeneity of microstructure, that if properly controlled, can lead to further properties improvement - what can be especially beneficial for alloys that are not characterized by complex compositions. In the present paper, special emphasis is given on the inhomogeneity of both deformation and microstructure and resulted mechanical properties. After drawing and annealing (at 500oC) mechanical properties measurements and microstructure analysis on the longitudinal sections of the wires were performed to assess the differences existing with respect to the conventional wire drawing process.

Drawing Speed

High speed wet wire drawing has become very common for the production of fine high-carbon steel wire (up to 0.70wt%C) because of the increase in customer demand and production rates in real industrial fields. Although the wet wire drawing process is performed at a high speed usually above 1000m/min, greater speed is required to improve productivity. However, in the high-carbon steel wire drawing process, the wire temperature rises greatly as the drawing speed increases. The excessive temperature rise makes the wire more brittle and finally leads to wire breakage. Therefore, the control of wire temperature is very important. In this study, the variations in wire temperature during the high speed wet wire drawing process were investigated. A multi-stage wet wire drawing process with 21 passes, which is used to produce steel wire, was redesigned by considering the increase in temperature. In order to apply the redesigned pass, a new wet wire drawing machine was developed. Through a wet wire drawing experiment with the new drawing machine and the redesigned pass, it was possible to increase the maximum final drawing speed to 2000m/min without the deterioration of the qualities of drawn wire.

Abstract In this work the analysis of the wire drawing process in hydrodynamic dies has been done. The drawing process of φ5.5 mm wire rod to the final wire of φ1.7 mm was conducted in 12 passes, in drawing speed range of 5-25 m/s. For final wires of φ1.7 mm the investigation of topography of wire surface, the amount of lubricant on the wire surface and the pressure of lubricant in hydrodynamic dies were determined. Additionally, in the work selected mechanical properties of the wires have been estimated. It has been shown that in the drawing process under hydrodynamic lubrication by drawing speed of 25 m/s the phenomena of uncontrolled formation of the surface and the diameter of the wire appears, and in the process the compressive stresses eliminating cracks on the wire surface occur, causing further smoothing. The wires drawn hydrodynamically in speed of 25 m/s, besides clearly worse properties compared to the wires drawn hydrodynamically at speeds in the range of 5 to 20 m/s, also exhibit large dimensional variations.

Main Factor

Wire breaking is a major factor in the impact of wire drawing production, and drawing process is an important factor causing the wire breaking, which cannot be ignored. In this paper, the impact of tension, bending stresses, centrifugal stresses, compression ratio of die arrangement and drawing speed in the process of the wire drawing process on wire breaking were calculated theoretically. Then the corresponding measurements to reduce the rate of wire breaking were proposed. The results show that the the tension of drawing process was the main factor, while choosing the right compression ratio and drawing speed according to the actual situation, the rate of wire breaking could be reduced effectively.

Significant Difference

The archwire is generally used in fixed appliances for orthodontic treatment to correct dental malocclusion. However, it is interesting to know whether general purpose stainless steel wire could replace commercial orthodontic archwire in orthodontic practice for economic reasons. The purpose of this study was to determine the bending properties of general purpose stainless steel wire compared with commercial orthodontic stainless steel wires after forming as an archwire for orthodontic use. The samples used in this study were 90 general purpose and 45 commercial (Highland) round stainless steel wires in 0.016, 0.018, and 0.020 sizes (30 general purpose and 15 commercial wires for each size). All 15 general purpose stainless steel wires with different sizes were formed into orthodontic archwire with a Universal Testing Machine. All samples were tested (three-point bending test) for mechanical properties. The results showed no significant difference between general purpose and commercial orthodontic wires in size 0.016 for 0.1 mm offset bending force, 0.2% yield strength, and springback. Although many mechanical properties of general purpose wires differed from commercial wires, their values conformed to other previous studies within the range of clinical acceptance. In conclusion, orthodontic formed general purpose round stainless steel wires had statistically different (p <0.05) mechanical properties from commercial orthodontic stainless steel wires (Highland) but the mechanical properties were acceptable to use in orthodontic treatment.

Abstract The analysis of the heating of the wire including theoretical studies showed that in the multistage drawing process a increase drawing speed causes intense heating of a thin surface layer of the wire to a temperature exceeding 1100°C, which should be explained by the accumulation of heat due to friction at the interface between wire and die. It has been shown that with increasing of drawing speed the heated surface layer thickness measured at the exit of the wire from the dies is reduced significantly and at drawing speed of 25 m/s is equal to about 68 μm. The decrease in the thickness of this layer can be explained by a shorter time of heat transfer to the wire, which causes additional heat accumulation in the surface layer. Thus fivefold increase in drawing speed caused an approximately 110% increase in the temperature in the surface layer of the wire. Experimental studies have shown that the increase of drawing speed of 5 to 25 m/s will increase the temperature of the wire after coiled on the spool more than 400%.

The Wire

The efforts to increase the operating speed of the wire drawing process play a crucial role regarding the industrial productivity. The problem is closely related to various features such as heat generation, material plastic deformation, as well as the friction at the wire/die interface. For instance, the introduction of specific lubricants at the interface between the die and the wire may efficiently reduce the friction or in another context, induce a difference in friction among different regimes, as for the case of hydrodynamic lubrication. The present study systematically explores various aspects concerning the drawing process of an electrolytic tough pitch copper wire. To be specific, the drawing speed, drawing force, die temperature, lubricant temperature, and stress distributions are analysed by using experimental as well as numerical approaches. The obtained results demonstrate how the drawing stress and temperature are affected by the variation of the friction coefficient, die geometry, and drawing speed. It is argued that such a study might help in optimizing the operational parameters of the wire drawing process, which further leads to the improvement of the lubrication conditions and product quality while minimizing the energy consumption during the process.
