The paper presents the results of finite element modelling of the microstructure evolution in the implementation of the combined technology of radial-shear broaching and subsequent drawing by JMAK and cellular automata methods. The analysis of the results shows that the simulation results have a high degree of convergence with each other; so, it can be recommended to use any of these methods to obtain information about the grain sizes. Workpiece deformation with a diameter of 30 mm to 20 mm at ambient temperature is the most effective method, since it allows refining the initial grain more than 3 times on the workpiece surface, from 25 μm to 8 μm. At the same time, workpiece deformation with a diameter of 30 mm to 23 mm at ambient temperature gives a twofold refinement of the initial grain, from 25 μm to 12 μm. The processing of the central area of the workpiece in all considered models is insignificant; it reaches only a 35%-reduction under the most optimal conditions.
Key words: steel, drawing, radial-shear broaching, severe plastic deformation, bar.
