This paper presents some aspects of the correlation between maintenance cost reduction and accidents—specifically, damages due to plastic deformation in steel constructions at production companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the theoretical part, a tension testing diagram for typical structural steels (I, U, T, etc.) is used to explain the ...

Ratio of ultimate tensile strength and yield stress shows lower values in cold drawn wire than in hot rolled state. The results of research addressing the effect of variations in chemical composition of continuous casted billets on mechanical properties of cold-formed wire used in production of steel mesh are presented. In the c...

In this paper the effects of the deformation strengthening mechanism on mechanical attributes are evaluated (toughness is not treated) during cold drawing of a corrosion￾resistant austenitic steel NITRONIC 60. Experimental evidence indicates that the technological factors of cold working by drawing significantly affect both the intensity ...
