Production of wire rod from continuous cast billets at Hamburger

$15.00

Metallurgical limitations of continuous cast billets, problems associated with high nitrogen content in steel, the importance of the cooling line, and cold deformation of high carbon rod are discussed. Experiments investigating the nitrogen content of scrap and sponge iron, and the influence of nitrogen content on steel rod quality, drawing, rolling, and wire properties, are described. High nitrogen contents (above 80 ppm) were found to cause aging by drawing.
