Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The carbon content and the shape of cementite in the steel (lamellar or granular) have a substantial effect on the flow stress during cold plastic deformation. The formulas obtained in this work make it possible to determine this value quantitatively.

  2. 2.

    The flow stress of steels with a structure of divorced pearlite is lower than that of steel with lamellar pearlite, the difference increasing with the carbon content of the steel, i.e., with increasing amounts of pearlite in the structure.
