摘要

The present study systematically investigated the concurrent evolution of microstructure, mechanical properties, and thermophysical characteristics of 0.82C eutectoid pearlitic steel during multi-pass wire drawing. Multi-pass wire drawing of pearlitic steel resulted in a simultaneous increase in strength, ductility, and thermal conductivity (k) up to nominal drawing strain (εN) of 0.22. Tensile strength increased with εN due to interlamellar spacing refinement and strain hardening, while reduction of area (RA) initially improved up to εN of 1.4 and then declined at higher εN. Anisotropic behavior in thermal diffusivity (α) and k was observed depending on specimen orientation; the α and k along the longitudinal direction (αL and kL) of drawn wire were higher those along across the radial direction (αR and kR) over the all drawing strain range. kL increased with εN due to grain elongation and < 110 > texture development, but decreased beyond εN of 0.22 as dislocation scattering became dominant. In contrast, αR and kR decreased monotonically with εN due to grain contraction and increased dislocation density in the radial direction of a wire. Microstructural evolution and literature review confirmed that grain elongation, structure alignment, and developed < 110 > texture during wire drawing are the key factors in enhancing both RA and kL with εN. These findings offer new insights for optimizing cold wire drawing of pearlitic steel by balancing mechanical and thermal properties.
