Description
The law of shotblasting is:MV2/2.(mass x velocity)2/2However when applying this law in a wiredrawing environment, the following essential factors must also be considered: wiredrawing is a continuous operation; shotblasting must compensate for the twist in the rod; the surface of the rod must be perfectly cleaned at a high linear speed; maintenance must be low and simple to carry out; and operating costs must be at least 50 percent lower than acid pickling. Therefore the design of the shotblaster applied in-line with a drawing machine must satisfy the above conditions.
