Damage Pearlitic Steel in Operation

This paper deals high carbon pearlitic steel wires (patented wires), which used as reinforcement in vehicle tires. The aim is to achieve the production of fine-grained pearlite microstructure. The theoretical part deals with a patent in the production structure as well as the patented brass plated wires. In the experimental focused on the microstructure and macroscopic analysis, followed by degradation of the wire, from an evaluation of the mechanical properties, determination of the depth of decarburization and the detection of corrosion in operation.
