Heavily drawn steel wires, used in applications such as radial tires, have to withstand a high number of fatigue cycles, typically > 10 8 . Such steel wires have diameters as small as 175ยตm. High cycle fatigue failure in such wires is initiated by either surface defects or internal non-metallic incl
