Description
The consistency of the brass layer is one of the most important quality characteristics during steel tire cord manufacturing, specifically in regard to manufacturing costs and the quality of the final product. The final patenting and brass-plating process requires specific parameters to achieve optimal quality characteristics of the brass-plated input wire, the raw material of the wet drawing and twisting processes. The wear behavior during wet drawing and the wire breakage level in the wet drawing machine determine the quality of the final wire and steel tire cord.
