Role of the microstructure on the mechanical properties of fully pearlitic eutectoid steels by J. Toribio, B. González, J.C. Matos, F.J. Ayaso

“…This paper analyses how the microstructure of an eutectoid pearlitic steel affects its conventional mechanical properties (obtained by means of a standard tension test) and the associated micromechanisms of fracture. Results show how the yield strength, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and the ductility, increase as the continuous cooling rate rises, whereas on the other hand the strain at UTS decreases. …”

Crack tip fields and mixed mode fracture behaviour of progressively drawn pearlitic steel by J. Toribio, B. González, J.C. Matos

“…To this end, fracture tests under axial loading were performed on steel wires with different drawing degree (from a hot rolled bar to a commercial prestressing steel wire), transversely pre-cracked by fatigue, analyzing in detail the changes in fracture micromechanisms. The deflection angles of the fracture path were measured by longitudinal metallographic sections and the characteristic parameters of the loaddisplacement plot were related to different fracture events. …”
