KOUDGETEKTE STAALstaaf
Cold drawn steel can be found in many consumer products that we use on a daily basis, as it has the physical and appealing characteristics that make it useful for many products. We’ve answered some common questions asked when it comes to cold drawn steel, also known as cold finished steel.
Wat is koudgetrekte staal?
Staal wat getrek word, gaan deur 'n reeks matryse om 'n gewenste vorm te verkry, staan bekend as getrekte staal. Matryse pas 'n bepaalde hoeveelheid druk toe met behulp van 'n masjienpers, en die staalaanvangsvoorraad moet tipies meer as een keer deur die matrys of 'n reeks matryse gevoer word. Koue verwys na die getrekte staal wat by kamertemperatuur vervaardig word, wat bykomende druk vereis om die staal te vorm, maar die staal ekstra kwaliteite en visueel estetiese voorkoms gee.
What’s the Cold Drawn Steel Process?
Initially, a steel manufacturer starts with a starting stock of steel product – either hot rolled straight bars or hot rolled steel coils - that is brought down to room temperature. Regardless if the end product is bar, tube or wire, the undrawn steel product is drawn through a die, which stretches the starting stock into the desired shape and size. This is done with the help of a grip that attaches to the steel stock and pulls the steel through the die. To the naked eye, the steel does not change much in shape through a single pass through the die, and usually takes multiple passes before it takes on the desired end shape.
Dit is die voordele van koudgetrekte staaldraad
· More accurate dimensional size tolerances.
