PRODUCTION OF CONTINUOUS-CAST BLANKS FOR ROD AND WIRE DRAWING AT KUZOTsM

摘要

KUZOTsM has developed a highly profitable process for production of wire from many alloys; this process includes production of a continuous-cast blank of small cross section, which provides for a significant reduction in the production cycle and reduces metal loss through avoidance of hot working processes (rolling or extrusion). Implementation of this trend will lead to a substantial improvement in product yield and other production performance indicators, while maintaining quality of the end product at an appropriate level.
