Analysis of the effect of cryogenic cooling during drawing on AISI-316 steel wire properties
摘要
This paper presents new technology for stainless steel wire processing. This technology consists of using cryogenic cooling immediately after the wire leaves the drawing die. Results of a laboratory experiment show that use of cryogenic processing after wire drawing improves mechanical properties compared with traditional drawing. Metallographic analysis proves that deformation conditions during cryogenic drawing are an additional factor for realization of structural resources to optimize steel wire physical and mechanical properties.
