Description
This paper discusses topics related to ceramics that include: the importance of surface finish and its structural composition; the effect of surface finish on the wire or wire coating, particularly for nickel, tin, and silver-plated wires; precision tolerances to avoid eccentricity, particularly applied for high-speed modern multi-wire drawing machines; the various types and compositions of ceramics available for specific applications; ceramic coatings applied to steel-based drawing pulleys; and life expectancy for both solid and coated ceramics.
