In this work it was studied the influence of low-carbon steel wire annealing at different temperatures from 500 to 750 °C that was obtained by cold drawing on its structure and properties. It was sown that bigger work-hardening during the drawing process leads to the decreasing of collective recrystallization starting temperature, which could resulting in obtaining less plastic properties than are appear after lower annealing temperatures with additional loss of strength. The found effects give valuable information for cases when it is desirable to obtain the minimal strength or the maximum plasticity of the wire.
