Determination of percentage of resolvable pearlite in high carbon steel wire rod

ISO 16574:2015 defines resolvable pearlite and specifies two methods of determining the percentage of resolvable pearlite. The methods are applicable for wire rod made from control cooling steel with carbon content greater than 0,65 % C.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
This test method produces an estimate of the percentage of pearlite resolvable at 500x magnification
in wire rod as a function of the cooling method after hot rolling to rod. The drawability of high-carbon
pearlitic rod is influenced by the amount of resolvable pearlite present. As the percentage of resolvable
pearlite increases, drawability decreases. The methods are used to check if the content of resolvable
pearlite can fulfil the requirement of the wire rod with improved characteristics intended for drawing.
