Abstract: ER70S-6 steel ø6.5 mm hot-rolled coil fractured during cold drawing, and the batch of coils was tested by means of chemical composition, mechanical properties, and microstructure inspection. The results show that the martensite in the core and bainite at the edge of the coil are the causes of drawing fracture. The production of martensite in the core and bainite at the edge can be effectively reduced by reducing the entering temperature of finishing rolling from 960 ℃ to 920 ℃ and increasing the length of insulation cover by 5 m.

Key words: ER70S-6 steel coil, cold drawing fracture, martensite, bainite
