Abstract
The paper presents results of computer-based multiscale finite element modeling of the drawing process of high-strength wire with a pearlitic microstructure, intended for use as the core of steel-aluminum conductors. The methodology and results of the drawing process simulation using the SIMULIA Abaqus software suite are described, taking into account different orientations of cementite lamellae in the wire’s microstructure relative to the drawing axis, as well as interlamellar spacing. Based on the simulation results and structural evolution predictions, various wire drawing routes with different distributions of individual reductions are analyzed.
Keywords:
