Popis: The aim of the present work is to study the evolution of microstructure, texture and mechanical properties during drawing of mild steel wire of type F8Z used in the manufacture of welding electrodes TREFISOUD. It was found that the as received wire has a ferritic-pearlitic microstructure corresponding to an isotopic state (without texture). This microstructure is relatively heterogeneous in the wire section. On the other hand, after strong drawing structure appears relatively homogeneous, throughout the section of the drawn wire. Also the deformation process by drawing causes the hardening of wire as a function of deformation with a reinforcing component of the fiber texture // ND (majority), typical for bcc materials. Characterization methods used in this work is: Optical microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), the Electron Back Scattered Diffraction EBSD, Vickers microhardness and the tensile tests.
