Abstract

The residual stress evolution during cold drawing of pearlitic steel wire was followed over a broad strain range by diffraction techniques. The present work discusses possible links between microstructural changes induced by severe deformation and their “footprints” left in the residual stresses on different – macro, micro and nano – scale levels. Energy dispersive synchrotron diffraction revealed a significant divergence in the grain microstress evolution among differently oriented ferrite grains in the high deformation regime beyond an accumulated true strain of about ∊t ≥ 2.3. A possible physical reason for the observed divergence is discussed in terms of a distinct microstructure development in this stage of the cold wire drawing.

Kurzfassung

Die Eigenspannungsentwicklung beim Kaltziehen von perlitischem Stahldraht wurde mit Hilfe von Röntgenbeugung über ein breites Dehnungsintervall verfolgt. Die vorliegende Arbeit diskutiert mögliche Verbindungen zwischen den bei sehr hohen Verformungen auftretenden Mikrostrukturveränderungen und ihren „Fußabdrücken“ in den Eigenspannungen auf den unterschiedlichen – makro-, mikro- und nanoskopischen – Längenskalen. Energiedispersive Beugung von Synchrotronstrahlung zeigte eine starke Divergenz der Mikrorestspannungen unter den verschieden orientierten Ferritkorngruppen im Bereich hoher Verformungen oberhalb von ∊t ≥ 2.3. Eine mögliche physikalische Ursache für diese Divergenz wird auf der Ebene der Mikrostrukturentwicklung in diesem Stadium des Kaltziehens besprochen.
