Effect of high-quality wire rod and micro-alloying on properties of steel wire in PCCP

$15.00

The effect of alloying elements, e.g., chromium, vanadium, etc., have been studied. Along with the standard electrochemical tests, FIP tests were also carried out to assess the Hydrogen Embrittlement Stress Cracking (HESC) of the micro-alloyed steel wires. The V-alloyed wire showed excellent pitting corrosion resistance. FIP test results showed that wire micro-alloyed with vanadium has excellent resistance to HESC in comparison to other wires with different chemistry.
