An update on the development of Conform

$15.00

The Babcock design of two models of Conform machines using the technology already available from the UKAEA is presented. Comparisons between standard wiredrawing equipment and the Conform machine, shown to reduce the wiredrawing extrusion ratio, and allow larger reductions to be obtained from each die, are provided. Results compiled from a number of individual tests to date for copper and aluminum wire are presented.
