Abstrakt: The residual stress evolutionduring cold drawing of pearlitic steel wire was followed over a broad strain range by diffraction techniques. The present work discusses possible links between microstructural changes induced by severe deformation and their “footprints” left in the residual stresses on different – macro, micro and nano – scale levels. Energy dispersive synchrotron diffraction revealed a significant divergence in the grain microstress evolution among differently oriented ferrite grains in the high deformation regime beyond an accumulated true strain of about ?t= 2.3. A possible physical reason for the observed divergence is discussed in terms of a distinct microstructure development in this stage of the cold wire drawing.
