AbstractIn this study, effect of straightening process on mechanical properties of pre-strain pearlitic steels was investigated. The material employed in this study has 0,83 % Carbon content. Tensile test, Vickers hardness test and Wear tests under load of 10N and 20N were performed for samples (straightened and non-straightened) to determine mechanical properties. Also, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used for microstructure characterization. Tensile test results revealed that yield strength and tensile strength increased with straightening process.
