Computerized decisions in wire manufacturing

$15.00

A computer program was used to simulate wiredrawing of steel rope wire, and thus predict the percent of product falling outside specified tensile stress tolerances. The simulation technique, drafting practice, optimization technique, and application of the program to a manufacturing situation are discussed.
