Titel
The cold rolling of thin brass wire
Abstract
Today a process combining wire rolling and wire drawing is primarily employed for the production of thin wires with a diameter in the range of 1mm. Between the single process stages the material must be heat treated several times. The use of a newly developed rolling mill now provides substanial improvements: All alloys may be rolled with the same pass sequence from the starting material with a diameter of 19mm down to the finished diameter of 1.3mm with only one intermediate annealing operation. Due to the short set up times and the reduced processing costs, wire-rolling represents a low-cost alternative to the nowadays used wire-drawing.
