Technological progress in the drawing of zinc-coated wire by a new type of tungsten carbide die

$15.00

This paper describes the new metallurgical compositions of tungsten carbide and the manufacturing procedures through which the drawing dies are produced. Specifically, the effects of the new compositions on zinc-coated wiredrawing have been investigated by university laboratory studies and practical tests. The research was focused on lubrication improvement, wire and die friction event reduction, and avoiding the removal of galvanized coatings from the wire surface.
