The objective of this study is to evaluate how the inclusion sizes influence the damage value and the maximum hydrostatic stress during multi-pass dry drawing process. It was well known that non-metallic inclusions can lead to material fracture during metal forming process, and be harmful to the quality of the final product. In multi-pass dry wire drawing, the temperature rise during deformation greatly decreases the quality of final product. In this study, the pass schedule in which initial diameter of 3.55 mm is reduced to final diameter of 2.115 mm was isothermally designed for the high carbon content steel. Spherical non-metallic inclusion of Al2O3 is located in the center of a steel rod. Influences of inclusion size, 5 μm, 10 μm, 20 μm and 50 μm in initial diameter 3.55 mm on ductile damage was investigated by FE-simulation in which material fracture was estimated using normalized Cockcroft and Latham criterion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
