Formulation, analysis, and measurement of fines

$15.00

This paper presents an analysis of the origin, microstructures, and make-up of fines in nonferrous products during rod production and wiredrawing. It includes a morphological genus for these contaminants leading to descriptions of eight different formation mechanisms—surface oxides, abrasive and third body wear, adhesive wear, slivers, surface deformation, delamination, and chemical compounds. It also includes a new method to quantitatively determine the fines-potential of rod samples.
