The FEM Simulation Of Cementite Lamellas Deformation In Pearlitic Colony During Drawing Of High Carbon Steel

In paper the wire drawing processes was investigated in two levels - steady-state solve using the 2-dimensional rigid-plastic finite element method (macro-level) and modeling of a microstructure change (micro-level). In macro level the joint deformation-temperature problem was considered. In micro-level the process of deformation of representative volume element - RVE was considered. The pearlitic colony deformation and orientation of cementite lamellas change in RVE was modeled with help of a FEM. The micro-level model to rigid-plastic finite element code was implemented. The experimental data of microstructure and orientation of cementite lamellas change was compared with results of a simulations. The influence of multi-pass drawing parameters (as friction, drawing schedule) on orientation of cementite lamellas was investigated
