Abstract: Tensile test of annealed Monel 400 alloy wire was carried out by using ETM105D electronic tensile testing machine, and the microstructure evolution, mechanical properties and their relationship of the cold drawn Monel 400 alloy wire after different annealing treatments were studied by using Matlab-MTEX software to calculate recrystallization volume fraction. The results show that the image obtained by processing EBSD data with Matlab-METX software can intuitively present the evolution of grain in the specimen after annealing treatment, and more accurate statistics of the volume fraction of recrystallization. Good plasticity and sufficient strength can be obtained by annealing at 825 ℃ for 20 min.

Key words: Monel 400 alloy wire, recrystallization, MTEX, activation energy
