Copper Wire Drawing

The presented book illustratively describes clearly the process of copper wire drawing.
On more than 190 pages with more than 100 illustrations, the author conveys in simple terms the basic knowledge of industrial copper wire drawing. He displays extensive-ly the four core topics of copper wire drawing: machine, wire, drawing die and cool-ing lubricant.
His experience gained over more than 25 years as head of a copper wire drawing plant is not at least shown in the chapter "Disturbances in drawing of copper wires " in which he treats detailed and bared on everyday experiences the potential mis-takes in wire drawing.
In numerous tables, he presents technical contexts in an over-visible manner. Top-ics such as “Permissible tension on the current wire”, the “AWG, American stand-ards for wire dimensions” as well as “Traction force increase caused by deflection” complete the book.
Presenting 29 simple formulas suitable for the calculator and 16 detailed computa-tional examples, the author shows the necessary calculation bases around wire drawing.
The book closes a gap in the specialist literature for copper processing and is equally helpful for beginners and more experienced wire drawers.
