Использование криогенного охлаждения при волочении нержавеющей проволоки

Abstract

In the manufacture of wire with high operational and mechanical properties, the use of high total degrees of compression is irrational, since cold plastic deformation reduces the diameter of the wire, and with hot deformation the initial diameter of the wire has its limitations. Therefore, wire processing by thermomechanical method has a huge potential to reduce costs and improve product quality. The article develops a technology of thermomechanical processing of stainless wire, which consists in preliminary heat treatment to obtain an austenitic structure and traditional drawing followed by cryogenic cooling. As a result of such processing, an ultrafine-grained structure consisting of a mixture of austenite and α – martensite and high strength and plastic properties were obtained. When drawing using cryogenic cooling, a structure with an average grain size of 1 microns was obtained, and a microstructure of 2 microns was obtained at ambient temperature.
