Understanding the Cold Drawing Process: Benefits for Stainless Steel Bars and Wire
By drawing the stainless steel through a carbide die or Turk's head, cold drawing modifies the stainless steel's size and form. stainless Steel frequently undergoes cold-rolling and cold-drawing processes to improve its characteristics and performance.
Our capabilities at Fortis Metals include single-die, multi-die, and Turks head. With this variation, we can produce cold-drawn stainless steel according to your precise requirements. Furthermore, our procedure produces less scrap and is less expensive than doing the required machining yourself.
Advantages of Cold-Drawn Stainless Steel Wire
When contrasted with alternative techniques like hot rolling, cold sketching offers a number of advantages, such as:
- Precision: Compared to alternative techniques, this process can operate under tighter size and roundness tolerances. Cold-finished stainless steel keeps its exact shape whereas hot-formed stainless steel products distort as they cool. We are able to produce intricate symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes, as well as sharp corner radii as small as required.
- Performance: Cold-drawn stainless steel has enhanced mechanical properties. Better performance is made possible by this transformation process, which also decreases ductility and increases tensile and yield strength. stainless Steel becomes tougher and stronger after going through this procedure.
- Surface finish: A smoother surface finish removes the need for extra machining procedures and expenses while being applicable to a variety of applications.
- Machinability: Cold-finishing increases tool life and makes stainless steel easier to machine, particularly low-carbon stainless steel.
Your Business Will Gain from Using Fortis Metals Cold-Drawn Goods in the Following Ways:
Manufacturing Cold-Drawn Steel Wire
Fortis Metals produces cold-drawn goods for our clients using industry-leading techniques. Hot-rolled stainless steel stock in wire form at room temperature is the first step in the production of cold-drawn stainless steel. To enhance dimensional control and eliminate surface flaws, we start by removing the iron oxide layer from the surface. Next, we lubricate the stainless steel wire in preparation for the next stage.
The wire is then pulled through a carbide die or Turk head using a motorised capstan connected to the stainless steel stock. Every time the stainless steel wire passes through the die, its diameter is decreased, its length is increased, and its form is changed within a precise tolerance. The diameter can be further decreased with additional dies.
To get the proportions you want, we can pull the wire through the die many times. A thin rod or wire form is the end product of the cold-drawing technique. After the product is complete, we wound the cold-drawn wire according to your specifications for packing.
In order to approximately form the stock, we also cold-roll the stainless steel rod. After that, we cold-draw the rod to improve the stainless steel's characteristics and functionality. Our in-house metallurgists and engineers help evaluate the best stainless steel stock and cold-drawn processes for your application.
Cold-Drawn Products
Fortis Metals is capable of producing cold-drawn stainless steel in wire or bar form in a variety of diameters and forms. Depending on the die being used, we provide cold-drawn wire in a variety of forms, such as:
Since we adhere to strict standards and requirements to provide you with the precise product you ordered, we are able to produce cold-drawn wire in almost any size and diameter. The smooth surface produced by the cold-drawn process makes it perfect for a variety of uses.
