Analysis of surface flaws on drawn wire and wire breaks

$15.00

Using experiments and finite element method (FEM) analysis, this paper examines whether surface cracks on wire rods grow or are removed during drawing. The deformation behavior of V-shaped, concave, and U-shaped transversal cracks were observed upon repeated drawing. The authors clarified the conditions under which these transversal cracks are removed in order to achieve a surface condition similar to that of the area without cracks.
