Pre-hardened 2.2 mm-diameter material was drawn into 1.00 mm-diameter wire in 6 draws on a multi-stage drawing machine. The drawing process was carried out at a drawing speed of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 20 m/s, respectively. Mechanical tests were tests were performed for the final wires to determine their yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, uniform and total elongation and reduction in area. The thickness of the zinc coating on the wire surface was determined by the gravimetric method and based on metallographic examination. The use of electron scanning microscopy, on the other hand, enabled the identification of individual phases in the zinc coating. The above investigations were supplemented with corrosion testing of 1.00 mm-diameter wires. It has been demonstrated that drawing speed significantly influences not only the thickness of the zinc coating on the drawn wire surface, buts also its morphology and corrosion resistance.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Research of zinc coatings in thin medium carbon steel wires}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/110180/PDF/AMM-2019-1-58-Suliga.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2019.126267}, keywords={wire, Zinc coating, drawing speed, mechanical properties}, }
