Donetsk Institute for Physics and Engineering named after А.А. Galkin NAS of Ukraine 72 R.Luxemburg Str., 83114, Donetsk, Ukraine 1 SPA «Donix», Donetsk, UkraineTo obtain the materials of ultrafine grain (UFG) structure, different methods of severe plastic deformation (SPD) with shear in both cold and hot state are used: equal-channel angular pressing, twist extrusion, and combination of these methods with succeeding rolling, upset, drawing etc. The application of these methods allows substantial increase in the strength of the material at certain conserved reserve of plasticity.However the mentioned combination of the methods can not be realized at wiredrawing production plants, whereas the last are very interested in new technological and operation characteristics of long-length wire products [1,2]. One of constraints imposed upon the production of UFG wire is that the total output of the materilas produced by the listed SPD methods is measured by tens of kilograms and tons but the required capacity of wiredrawing production is hundreds of thousand tons.A possible solution of the problem of the long wire products can be application of drawing with shear. As may be supposed, an increase in the plasticity reserve of rods and wires allows cheapening and simplification of the production technique due to the abandonment of the intermediate anneal.In [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], different methods of severe plastic deformation of long metal billets of varied configuration are described. The works [5,6,9] are of special interest here.The authors of [5] analyze the application of sign-alternation twisting of cold-drawn furniture without an additional heating. The main advantages of the method are continuous operation and possible application to the production of long products with enhanced mechanical properties. In [6], a method of plastic structure formation in the material of long billets is tested, and a facility of the realization is presented that is based on sign-alternating deformation within intersecting channels. The deformation zone is formed within the billet due to a shift of the symmetry axes of the channels combined with uniaxial tension. The presented method is intermittent, and the finite billets of several meters in length can be produced. The advantage of the method is formation of a fine grain structure. But the deforming block is even more complex than that in the case of [5]. Both the methods [5,6] do not permit production of the wire of small diameter.A drawing-based method of obtaining of UFG structure in long products is described in [9]. The main advantage is continuous operation and possible application to the large-scale drawing production. A drawback is labor intensity of drawing because a complex technical facility is used that requires disassembling and new installation in the course of replacement of wire drawing dies.The present paper reports the developed technique of drawing with shear aimed at enhancement of technological plasticity of low-carbon steels without thermal treatment.
