Development of a Process Map for Wire Drawing of Pearlitic Steel by Finite Element Analysis Coupled with Damage Evolution

Abstract:

This work is concerned with the development of a new process map for wire drawing of pearlitic steel considering damage evolution. In this study, a ductile damage is defined as a porosity or void volume fraction and the porosity evolution model proposed by Lee and Dawson is adopted. Dilatational plastic deformation due to growth of micro voids is also considered. Correspondingly, an Eulerian finite element analysis coupled with damage evolution model is utilized in order to reflect the effects of dilatational plasticity due to growth of micro voids. Also, the accumulated damage in wire drawing could be evaluated. Finite element simulation for wire drawing of pearlitic steel are performed for various process conditions such as a half die angle and an area reduction ratio. Especially, the effects of process parameters on the deformation characteristic as well as damage evolution in wire drawing are carefully examined. Finally, a new process map is presented in terms of a half die angle and an area reduction ratio, which can identify the successful process conditions for wire drawing of pearlitic steel. Thus, it would be expected that this process map will help an engineer for the design of wire drawing of pearlitic steel.
