Some effects of metallic residuals on the performance of rod in a wire mill

$15.00

The coppering of steel rod (high concentrations of an intermetallic copper and nickel compound in rod scale) during acid pickling is explained. The degree of difficulty of scale removal and the consequences during wiredrawing are discussed. Wire breaks versus alloy enrichment, nickel and copper concentrations in HCl, and copper deposition from HCl pickling baths are topics considered.
