A tank gone bad-an investigation of failure modes of copper wiredrawing lubricants

$15.00

There are two primary failure modes for copper wiredrawing lubricants: loss of lubricating properties and psychochemical degradation. These failures can occur concurrently or independently, with one frequently leading to the other. An overview of these mechanisms and their effects on the process will be presented.
