Description
A study designed to correlate properties of steel wire with various drawing schedules used in its production is presented. A 0.67% carbon patented wire drawn 40, 30, 20, and 10% reduction/draft, and a 0.27% carbon patented rod drawn 40, 30, and 20% reduction/draft were subjected to tension, torsion, bending, and fatigue tests at various stages of wiredrawing. Results are reported and discussed.
