Residual Stress Determination in the Cementite and Ferrite Phases of High Carbon Steel (1999)
P. Van Houtte, K. Van Acker, J. Root
The paper describes a study of the residual stress and the texture in cold drawn wires of pearlitic high carbon steel. Total true strains in wire drawing ranged from 1.96 to 2.59. Such material...
The residual stress state in both the cementite and ferrite phases of cold-drawn pearlitic wires has been measured by neutron diffraction. The phase microstress in the axial direction is obtained. It...
