New Wire Making Process Cuts Cost and Improves Quality
A novel continuous rolling method for iron copper and brass wires reduces cost. The system uses a sequence of rollers with increasing speed and a friction clutch to match wire speed. The process cold-works wires from half inch rods, reducing annealing dangers and furnace burning while producing more flexible, homogeneous wire with higher longitudinal strength and, for copper, improved conductivity.
