Cold-drawn pearlitic steel wires revealing ultra-high tensile strengths of up to 7 GPa are the world*s strongest bulk materials. Experimental observations reveal that cementite gradually decomposes during wire drawing. The C atoms resulting from the cementite decomposition are mechanically alloyed into the ferrite phase and accommodated in trapping sites around defects, such as dislocations. Surprisingly, there is also a high oversaturation of the bulk ferrite phase and experiments indicate a transformation to a tetragonally distorted system.In this work, a new ab initio informed model has been developed to take into account the strain-induced interaction of C with the host matrix as characteristic for wire drawing conditions. Our model captures the effect of the applied strain * exerted by the wire drawing process * within a renormalized C formation energy obtained by density functional theory calculations. Applying the model we demonstrate that the experimentally observed tetragonal distortion is due to a mechanically driven phase transformation from the body-centered-cubic (bcc) to the body-centered tetragonal (bct).
