One-step annealing optimizes strength-ductility tradeoff in pearlitic steel wires [PDF]
Abstract In this paper, the mechanical properties of a cold-drawn wire ( e = 2.43 ) are modulated by simple annealing and the variation of its microstructure is characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation.

Anchorage System Contribution to Post‐Tensioned Bridge Collapse
This paper presents an experimental investigation of a 1960s precast post‐tensioned girder bridge in Trstena, Slovakia, revealing severe corrosion and anchorage degradation that ultimately led to its collapse. The findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in obsolete anchorage systems and emphasize the need for proactive assessment and maintenance of

Influence of coiling on the stress relaxation of prestressing steel wires [PDF]
The possible deleterious effects of coiling and long-term storage of coiled wires on the stress relaxation behaviour of prestressing steel wires has been checked by means of experimental work and a simple analytical model.

Linking Heat Treatment to Plastic Deformation in Pearlitic Steels Through Mesoscale Modeling
Surface wear on rail and wheel steels results from surface deformation during use. This research uses mathematical models to forecast the plastic behavior of pearlitic steels, connected to the microstructure formed during heat treatment. While the cooling rate impacts the steels’ strength, the size of prior austenite grains and blocks does not ...

INFLUENCE OF DEFORMATION IN THE LINE OF WIRE MILL 150 ON DISPERSION OF PEARLITE OF STEEL 80K
Peculiarities of formation and distribution of pearlitic structure of steel 80K in a blank and after deformation in various areas of wire mill (in semi-finished rolled products and rolled wire) are established.

Microhardness reached a maximum of 158.5 ± 3.9 HV at 4 wt.% Fe, with tensile strength peaking at 331.9 ± 9.9 MPa, whereas higher Fe addition (6 wt.%) caused microhardness and tensile strength to decline to 142.4 ± 4.8 HV and 294.7 ± 9.2 MPa, respectively, due to particle clustering and thermal softening.

Assessing the Very High Cycle Fatigue Behavior and Frequency Effect of Structural Steel Welds
ABSTRACT The very high cycle fatigue behavior of S275J2+N flux‐core arc welded joints was investigated using the ultrasonic fatigue testing method at a loading frequency of 20 kHz. A bespoke specimen design featuring the weld toe was employed to more suitably represent in‐service welded joints than typical ultrasonic fatigue testing specimens.

Comparative Fatigue Analysis of Structural Steels Considering Welding and Surface Effects
ABSTRACT There are limited data on the very high‐cycle fatigue for structural steel welds for over 10 million cycles. The purpose of this research is a fatigue performance comparison of the welds made of steels S355JR+AR and S275JR+AR. The goal of reaching the gigacycle fatigue domain is achieved using the ultrasonic fatigue testing at 20 kHz.
