Copper-sheathed steel wires combine the conductivity of copper and the traction resistance of steel, which makes a bimetallic wire an ideal material for the construction of power lines. Currently, there is a small number of studies devoted to the change in the microstructure of steel-copper wire during its strain. Since steel and copper have different mechanical properties, these metals at the interface can be deformed in different ways. Therefore, the present research is devoted to the study of ECAP-drawing process impacts on the properties of bimetallic steel-copper wire. During the conducted studies, the possibility and efficiency of using the combined strain technology for the formation of ultrafine grained structure and increased strength properties of steel-copper wire have been proved.
