TL;DR: In this article, major processes affecting microstructure of a drawn pearlitic wire including lamellae thinning, changes in inter-lamellar interface and metallographic and crystallographic texture, plastic flow localization, and dynamic strain aging were characterized.
TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructure of a pearlitic steel wire with a higher strain as much as 5.1 with tensile strength of 5,170 MPa was characterized.
TL;DR: In this paper, a composite compact for tools, such as cutting, drilling, wire drawing and shaping tools, consists essentially of a porous mass of self-bonded, boron-doped diamond particles and a catalyst-solvent material.
Abstract: In one embodiment, a compact for tools, such as cutting, drilling, wire drawing and shaping tools, consists essentially of a porous mass of self-bonded, boron-doped diamond particles and a catalyst-solvent material. The method for making such a compact comprises the steps of bonding a mass of boron-doped diamond particles, aided by a catalyst-solvent material, under high temperatures and high pressures (HP/HT). In another embodiment, a composite compact, which is made in a similar manner to the first embodiment, consists essentially of (i) a layer of a porous mass of self-bonded, boron-doped diamond particles and catalyst-solvent material; and (ii) a substrate layer of cemented carbide bonded to the diamond layer.
