Abstract This study involved fully pearlitic wires of seven different diameters (5.5-1.6 mm). All samples were laboratory annealed to re-austenitize and were then air-cooled to reform the pearlite structure. Morphological alignment of the pearlite, along the wire axis, improved significantly, 32% to 93%, as the wire diameter decreased. This improvement coincided with increases in the < 110 > ferrite fiber texture, and falls in the axial residual stresses. In all the wires, the majority of the pearlite lamellae appeared to align, in a 2-D analysis, with minimum elastic stiffness (E-Min, under simple compression) for the ferrite (alpha). This correlation increased from 80% to 98% with decrease in wire diameter and fall in axial residual stresses. 3-D microstructures by serial sectioning, 3-D rotations seeking E-min and observations on coarse pearlite, indicated that {011}(alpha) and < 001 > (alpha) were, respectively, the pearlite interface (or habit plane) and growth direction.
