As we all know, even if it is the same kind of steel wire, because of the steel making process, wire drawing process and equipment are not the same, so the quality of steel wire production is not the same. Due to the different mechanical properties of steel wire itself, flattening process and equipment, the width and elongation of steel wire in the flattening process have different effects. Therefore, in the selection of wire diameter, the following three factors should be considered:
First, the effect of tensile strength or hardness of steel wire
The tensile strength of steel wire is high and the hardness is high. In the flattening process, the longitudinal movement resistance of steel wire per unit volume increases and the elongation decreases. The steel wire unit volume will move to the lateral resistance smaller, the width of the increase. On the contrary, the wire is easy to extend lengthwise, and its width decreases. This is the production of high steel wire hardness is easy to wide, small hardness, easy to stretch out of wide reasons. If the tensile strength deviation of steel wire is large, the hardness uniformity of steel wire strip is poor, the width difference of the billet rolled into large, will seriously affect the quality of the billet.
Two, the influence of steel wire surface roughness
In the rolling process, if the surface of the steel wire is rough, the relative friction coefficient of the steel wire and roll increases, the friction resistance increases, the steel wire elongation decreases, the width increases. In the production of weighted leather material is easy to wide, is because of its rough surface. On the contrary, the surface of the steel wire is smooth, because the friction resistance between the steel wire and the roll is small, it is easy to extend, and the width is small. Domestic steel wire in order to prevent rust, the surface coated with butter, such as butter removal is not clean, easy to slip when rolled flat, also affect its width.
The effect of chemical composition and metallographic structure of steel wire
The higher the carbon content of steel wire, the worse its plasticity, the smaller the section compression and elongation of steel wire, steel wire in rolling deformation is difficult, the width of the smaller. For alloy steel wire, because the alloy element dissolved in solid solution can improve the cold working hardening rate of steel wire, its deformation resistance is large, the rolling width is small, and it is easy to crack.
