One of the promising and little-studied methods for obtaining an ultrafine-grained structure and enhanced mechanical properties is the so-called cryogenic deformation - deformation at temperatures below 120K. It is assumed that low deformation temperatures suppress recovery processes, thus contributing to the accumulation of an extremely high dislocation density and increase internal stresses, as well as activate deformation twinning, which together will accelerate grain refinement. In this regard, in this work, we studied the drawing of steel wire under cryogenic cooling in liquid nitrogen. The results of the laboratory experiment show that the application of cryogenic deformation treatment after wire drawing improves mechanical properties compared to conventional wire drawing. In this case, after two cycles of deformation, the relative contraction after stretching decreases by 8 %, the ultimate strength increases by 40 %, and the conditional yield strength by 26 %. The results show that the deformation conditions during cryogenic drawing are an additional factor for the realization of structural resources of steel wire physical and mechanical properties optimizing.
