Effect of titanium addition on strain aging of low-carbon steel wire rod

$15.00

The effects of the conditions of wire rod rolling and subsequent cooling on the precipitation behavior of titanium carbide (TiC) were investigated in 0.005 mass% carbon steel. The amount of work hardening by wire drawing and flow stress in high-speed compression test were reduced by approximately 27% and 15%, respectively, through the prevention of strain aging by the addition of a small amount of titanium.
