Chevron cracking is a well-recognized type of fracture during wiredrawing, but its many causes are not well understood. This paper reviews known causes in a summary chart, together with the investigations that implicated two very unusual causes: nitrogen-induced microvoids and pulsating back-pull stress variation caused during wiredrawing.
