Failure analysis is an important tool in wiredrawing quality improvement. Certain aspects of wire failures occurring in plated wires are specific to the particular type of plating that is being used. This paper examines some of the wire failure concepts for tin- and nickel-plated copper wire. Some of the characteristics of tin- and nickel plating will be discussed and their implications on the wiredrawing operation will be presented.
