25.5 %. So that using two-step TRIP type heat treatment for wire rod from 0.09 %C steel made possible
to use wires with clearly higher strength properties closed to wires from D45 steel (0.45 %C), beside
G
c
= 60 % wires from D45 steel have tensile strength about 1400 MPa and is higher and is higher in
comparison to wires from TRIP steel drawn with the same total draft only about 15 %.
On the basis of the investigation of plasticity properties (A
100
, Z), wires ofTRIP type structure
(variant B) and wires of ferrite-pearlite structure (variant A), are not noticed clearly which variant was
better plasticity properties. For wires of TRIP type structure it has been lower contraction was noticed.
The differences in contraction between variant A and B increase in function of total draft and for final
wires are about 27,1 %. The small differences in contraction between variant A and B up to total draft
40 % are related to phase transformation which increases plasticity of drawn wires. After total draft 40
% is observed decaying of TRIP effect. It causes significantly work hardening of material and this is
reason why value of contraction is decreasing in variant B. For final wires from variant A and B the
increase of A
100
in comparison to wires from variant A average 12-15 %. However, on the basis of the
investigation, in range 40-90 % total draft is difficult to draw a conclusion unequivocally conclusions.
Technological investigation e.g. N
b
and N
t
, shown that TRIP type heat treatment have influence
on number of band and twist. Wires from variant A drawn w total draft 60-80 % have about 20 %
higher number of band and twist. However for wires drawn with total draft 90 % differences between
variant A and B are insignificant.
Conclusions
The TRIP type heat treatment causes significant increase of strength properties drawn wires,
e.g. R
0,2
and R
m
. the differences between properties of wires with TRIP type structure (variant B)
and wires with initial structures (variant A) increase in total draft function and for G
c
=90,9 %
average about 25 %.
It was found that the increase of strength TRIP steel wires in comparison to wires with initial
structure does not deteriorate plasticity properties which are comparable to both variants. The
differences between Z and a
100
for both grades are insignificant and difficult to interpretation.
The wires after TRIP type heat treatment drawn with total draft 0-80 % have worse
technological properties (N
b
and N
t
) in comparison to wires with ferrite-pearlite structure
approximately about 20 %. However, the increased of total draft to 90 % decreased differences
between variants A and B.
