Abstract
The commercial technology of rolling 5,5 mm-diameter wire rod in Poland’s most modern rolling line has been examined within the study. The material used for the investigation was the 20MnB4 steel intended for subsequent cold working. From the performed analysis of the investigation results it has been found that the technology of rolling wire rod of cold upsetting steel, which is used currently in the Rolling Mill under examination, allows the production of finished products that can be deformed with a relative reduction of about 33 %. At larger plastic deformations,cracks occur in the material, which disqualifies it from further cold working.
