A comparison of cold drawing properties of low-carbon rimmed steel wire rod, open hearth steel versus basic oxygen steel

$15.00

Basic oxygen and open hearth low-carbon rimmed steel wire rod were tested; basic oxygen steel had better cold drawing properties than open hearth steel. The mechanical properties of wire rod and cold drawn wire, wiredrawing stress, grain sizes and non-metallic inclusions, and the effects of chemical composition are discussed.
