The evaluation of tube burring formability is a crucial task for finding a suitable material for tube-based automobile parts. The local strain at the ductile fracture site (fracture strain) should be evaluated for this purpose. Moreover, a cold-drawn steel tube has a strong anisotropic shaped microstructure and possibly causes anisotropic fracture strain behavior. Based on this background, the study evaluated the axial and hoop directional fracture strains of cold-drawn steel tubes using the small round-bar tensile specimen. The burnished surface ratio on the pierced surface was also investigated for possibility estimation of in-line formability inspection. As a result, three tubes are presented with inferior, nearly the same, and superior hoop directional fracture strains compared with the axial strains, where exceeding 40% deterioration in the hoop direction occurs by a combination of grain elongation and carbide aggregation. The scanning electron micrographs suggest that the microvoid growth and linkage percolated thorough carbides on the elongated grain boundaries. For the piercing test, the 30% fracture strain deterioration resulted in a 4% decrease in the burnished surface ratio on the pierced surface. This result suggested that the estimation of the pierced surface can detect material defects before the actual tube-burring process.
