Abstract

"As a means of investigating the often adverse drawing behavior of electrogalvanized steel wire, drawing experiments were conducted on a variety of industrially-supplied and laboratory-prepared electroplated steel wires. Back-flow and shaving appeared to be the mechanisms by which sizeable zinc losses occurred. Performance during drawing and the quality of the product depended upon both the characteristics of the plating and the drawing process variables. Grain size, grain texture, and surface 'flatness' can affect the required drawing force, surface finish and level of zinc retention. Low die angles and large reductions offered greatest efficiencies with minimum zinc loss"--Abstract p. ii
