Surface quality in general, and surface oxide thickness and dusting characteristics in particular, are very important for the further processing of copper rod. In wiredrawing operations, the drawing dies, emulsion, and filtration systems are affected by rod surface quality. This paper investigates the effect of alcohol in the emulsion and the application of high-pressure descaling in the rolling mill. This combined application was found to improve surface quality considerably.
