The effects of alloying elements on tensile strength and the occurrence of delamination in cold-drawn hyper-eutectoid steel wires

The effects of alloying elements and initial interlamellar spacing on tensile strength and the occurrence of delamination in cold-drawn hyper-eutectoid steel wires were investigated under equivalent drawing conditions. The initial interlamellar spacing showed little influence on the occurrence of delamination. The addition of Cr effectively increased attainable tensile strength, since the added Cr not only increased tensile strength but also...
