In this study, the design and improvement of 0.82%C steel wire rod for pre-stress concrete (PC) wire applications that are all covered by imports in Turkey have been done. During the design and experimental studies, JMatPro and Gleeble 3500 thermal simulators are used to describe the CCT and TTT curves and for simulating Stelmor line parameters. Besides optical microscope , SEM and SEM-EDS are used to measure the interlamellar spacing and line analysis for segregation. Finally, the optimum conditions to produce this wire rod quality are determined, and this wire rod grade can be produced in Turkey.
