Microrolling: cold rolling wires of unusual diameters

$15.00

The Properzi process for rolling of copper, aluminum, and steel to finished wire diameters as small as 14 gauge is discussed. Rolling torques, roll separating forces, roll profiles, entry and exit speeds measured, micro-mill, roll life, and advantages of rolling over drawing are considered. Speed and quality are similar to drawing, and less scrap is produced.
