Wire production

Electroplating. The second-largest appHcation for nickel chemicals is as electrolytes ia nickel electroplating (qv). In ordinary plating systems, nickel present ia the electrolyte never forms on the finished workpiece the latter results from dissolution and transfer from nickel anodes. Decorative nickel plating is used for automobile bumpers and trim, appHances, wire products, flatware, jewelry, and many other consumer items. A comprehensive review of nickel electroplating has been compiled (164). 

The most widely used development in HTS wire production is tlie powder-in-tube procedure with BSCCO ceramic materials. In this procedure very fine HTS powder, placed inside of a hollow silver tube, is fused as the tube lengtn is mechanically increased to form a wire. Very high magnetic fields with this wire have been reported at 4 K however, the performance degrades substantially above 20 to 30 K.

Proceeding further into the field of metal products, there is The Wire Association, located in Stamford, Conn. Data on production, consumption, new equipment, and production facilities in the wire industry are collected, annually for the first two, and monthly for the latter two. An Annual Buyers Guide and Year Book (7) is also prepared, and a journal. Wire and Wire Products (5), is issued monthly.

A modern enameling plant permits economical wire production and at the same time low solvent emissions by utilizing the heat of combustion of the solvents contained in the enamel. The solvents are usually burned catalytically using noble metal catalysts that have a permanent degree of efficiency of >95% at working temperatures of around 600 °C. The waste gas emission levels produced are below the limits currently specified by the laws. 

Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene Copolymer - Thermoplastic comprised of an alternating copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene. Has high impact resistance and good abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, weatherability, and electrical properties approaching those of fully fluori-nated polymers. Retains mechanical properties from cryogenic temperatures to 356°F. Can be molded, extruded, and powder-coated. Used in tubing, cable and wire products, valves, pump parts, wraps, and tower packing in aerospace and chemical equipment applications. Also called ETFE. 

The aim of the present study is the investigation of activity of the catalysts based on foam materials (foam metals and foam ceramics) in the processes of deep oxidation of volatile aromatic compounds and neutralization of gas emissions of enameled wire production. 

Foam Pd/Nichrome and LaCoOs/ceramics catalysts can be recommended for neutralization of gas emissions of enameled wire production. 

The archwires were carefully cut into approximately 3-4 mm length segments with a water-cooled diamond saw, and each test specimen consisted of five or six such segments. For the three wire products where bent specimens were analysed, each of the wire segments for the test specimen was the portion of an archwire that had been bent. The test specimens were placed in open aluminium pans, and an empty aluminium pan again served as the inert control specimen. 

The author studied the smallest diameter of various wires in commercially available products and wires in the research stage based on questionnaires distributed to approximately 70 major Japanese wiredrawing manufacturers (see Table I Yoshida, 2000b). Other than titanium wires, superfine wire products up to around 15 im in diameter, regardless of whether they are steel or nonferrous wires, are now available on the market. In research, various materials have been thinned into superfine wires of down to 10 xm diameter (Yoshida, 2000a). 

Draw process n. Process for shaping a tubular or solid cylindrical specimen. The process involves passing the material through a die where it is then gripped by a suitable device, which can pull it forward on a mechanical or hydraulic bench. A reduction in the diameter (solid specimens) and wall thickness (tubular specimens) results. Multi-die drawing is necessary in wire production.

As already indicated, one of the main problems associated with the equation is the determination of the deposition velocity of SO2 from normally available climatic data. The calculated differences for sheet and fencing vary by up to a factor of 10, which is not in line with practical experience, where normally the factor is about 2. Possibly, aerodynamic effects and relative mass effects are not adequately incorporated. Twelve-year exposures of zinc-and aluminum-coated wires (Kelley, 1975) show the differences between unfabricated wire and various wire products the high corrosion of barbed wire is presumably due partly to sacrificial protection of cut ends (Fig. 2.6).
