Abstract:

In this paper the wire drawing process is investigated in two levels. They are a steady-state solution using the 2dimensional rigid-plastic finite element method (macro-level) and a modeling of microstructure changes (micro-level). In the macro level the joint deformation-temperature problem is considered. It is shown that the model based on the theory of the flow of rigid-plastic continuum allows for calculating of drawing force with good accuracy. In the micro-level the process of deformation of a representative volume element (RVE) is considered. The grain deformation and an orientation of cementite lamellas changes in RVE are modeled with a help of the FEM. The micro-level model is implemented into finite element code Drawing2d.
