Influence of Deformation on Texture Development During Cold Drawing of Tubes

Abstract

AbstractCold drawing of tubes is a metal forming process that allows manufacturers to produce high precision tubes. The anisotropy is a natural phenomenon in the tube wall thickness, in this method of manufacture. The EBSD measurements have been made on several Ferritic–pearlitic steels (8.9 wt% pearlite content) with different deformations for the detection of the effect composition has on the texture formation. The development of the crystallographic texture can be clearly explained by the stress–strain state at the material flow. This article was pointed out and connected between the development of the texture and stress state during the cold drawing process by turning the body-centered K8 grid (BBC). A significant influence on the texture change is also the heat treatment, where grains have the different ability of recrystallization. The cognition of this process will make it possible to achieve a tube with the optimum texture for the cold drawing process.KeywordsCold drawingTextureFinite-element method
