Influence of the Straining Path during Cold Drawing on the Hydrogen Embrittlement of Prestressing Steel Wires

Cold drawing is a commonly used technique for manufacturing the prestressing steel wires used as structural elements in prestressed concrete structures. As a result of this manufacturing process, a non-uniform plastic strain and residual stress states are generated in the wire. These stress and stra...
