Status of European research in the field of wire rods and high-strength wires

$15.00

The status of steel research in Europe, with particular emphasis on multi-partner projects sponsored by the European Community for Steel and Coal (ECSC) and the JOULE© Program, is reviewed through specific examples in the field of high-strength wire rods and cold drawn wires. The metallurgical design criteria and the process options offered by modern production routes to improve the microstructure and drawability of high-C hot-rolled wire rods are discussed.
