INTEGRATED PROCESS FOR DRAWING WIRE ROD WITHOUT A DIE PLATE AND DESCALING THE ROD SURFACE

摘要

Wire has traditionally been made from wire rod. Scale is removed from the surface of the wire rod before it is drawn through die plates (draw plates). Performing the drawing operation without the use of a die plate makes it possible to deform the wire rod without removing the scale, i.e., it creates a new process that combines descaling and drawing. The authors created an experimental unit with a kinematically determined amount of elongation in order to study the process of drawing without a die plate. They studied different parameters of the process of drawing wire rod without a die plate and compared it to traditional drawing.
