Surface Quality and Mechanical Properties in Drawn Stainless Steel Profile Wires Caused by Process Parameters

Thin profile wires made of stainless steels are widely used for production industrial screens filtration and separation processes. Industrial resistance spot welded thin e.g. in baskets centrifuges or find a wide range applications various branches the industry (mining, food sugar industry, paper wastewater treatment, oil gas many more). Regardless application, increased durability surface quality is paramount importance. Improvement longevity manufactured items, process efficiency environmental performance can be achieved only when interactions between initial wire rod its susceptibility to metal forming operations fully understood. Due complexity manufacturing (precise small gaps, narrow ranges dimensional tolerances), thin, so-called precision profiled difficult. The influence charge, i.e. rod, parameters drawing / rolling play key role obtaining semi-finished products characterized by high strength, low roughness level residual stresses. discusses state deformation on austenitic lean duplex steel as well possibility replacing their possible benefits.
