Development and application of engineering ceramics in wire drawingcones, capstans and pulleys

$15.00

New developments of aluminumoxide- and zirconiumoxide- based engineering ceramics are described. Basic properties, such as corrosion resistance, hardness, strength and surface finish are compared to hardened steel. Technical equations to estimate localized stress at the contact area of wire and ring are developed and a comparative wear simulation method is shown. Recommendations for the mechanical design of ceramic wire drawing cones, capstans and pu
