THE APPLICATION OF ULTRASONICS TO WIRE DRAWING.
Abstract
Recent tests on iron and copper thermocouple wire revealed that surface imperfections znd rust prevent consistent results during wire drawing operations. Tests performed at severe area reductions under ultrasonic radiation resulted in tensile failure of the drawn wire. A reduction of yield strength in an ultrasonic environment was cited as the probable cause. A second isolator and back tension device were installed between die and wire supply reel. (Author)
