Abstract
Application of high intensity electric pulse (HIEP) to a severely deformed eutectoid
microstructure in high carbon steel wire has resulted in spheroidized microstructure. The
observed spheroidization on electropulsing is compared with that reported for isothermal/
thermo-mechanical annealing of the pearlite structure. The faster kinetics observed in this
study has been rationalized in terms of accelerated kinetics induced by HIEP.
