INVESTIGATION OF MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON STEEL WIRE AFTER CONTINUOUS METHOD OF DEFORMATION NANOSTRUCTURING

The continuous method of wire deformation nanostructuring is developed on the basis of simultaneous applying of tension deformation by drawing, bending deformation when going through the system of rolls and torsional deformation on a continuously moving wire. The patent for an invention of the Russian Federation patent office is got. The efficiency estimation of the developed continuous method of deformation nanostructuring was carried out using wire made of medium and high-carbon steels containing 0.2 and 0.75 % C. The wire processed by this method has a uniform ultra-fine grain structure across the cross-section without internal discontinuities that indicates the possibility of combining different deformation schemes for achieving this type of structure in wire. Not only increasing strength properties of carbon steel wire is achieved after this method but increasing plastic properties occurs at the same time.
