A Comprehensive Program for Reducing Wire Breaks through Process Control and Effective Filtration

$15.00

An in-depth case study detailing the steps taken by AT&T Omaha Works, enabling them to meet the objectives for their wiredrawing operations. All critical areas fundamental to the various processes are subjected to ongoing analysis toward achieving goals.Areas of monitoring include rod quality, die performance, emulsion control and the continuous upgrading of filtration equipment, for both wiredrawing and annealing. The implementation procedures and state-of-the-art equipment at the Omaha Works resulted in significant reductions in discharge of spent wiredrawing.
