Based on the analysis of data from the industrial processing of experimental batches of wire rod made of low-carbon Cr-Mo-V steels intended for the production of welding wire, an empirical coefficient of the modified Tulenkov-Zolotnikov equation was determined that takes into account the actual chemical composition of the metal and its structural state. Using the established relationships, a specialized module of the CalcRoutes software package was developed for predicting the energy-force parameters of drawing and the mechanical properties of cold-deformed welding wire. This makes it possible to calculate drawing routes, determine the kinematic scheme of wire rod elongation, drawing speeds, the ultimate tensile strength of the steel after passing through each deformation zone, the load factor of electric motors, the total drawing power, and wire production capacity taking into account the available working time fund. The obtained data can be used by specialists of hardware plants during the development and improvement of the technology for producing welding wire
from low-carbon Cr-Mo-V steels.
