5. Manufacturing Method – Details
5.1 Patenting (heat treatment)
Where required, rods will be patented on a modern heat treatment line. The patenting process is in
two stages; heating to produce a homogeneous austenite and then quenching to produce a fine pearlitic
microstructure.
During heating, the rod temperature is controlled to ensure a fine grained austenitic structure is retained and
the furnace atmosphere is carefully controlled to prevent surface decarburisation and to minimise scale
formation.
The lead quench temperature is selected to produce the optimum combination of strength and ductility in the
rod. This allows successful drawing for high tensile wire.
All rod coils are tested to ensure the tensile strength lies within the expected range and that the ductility
(constriction) is satisfactory.
The patented rod will have a grain size of 6 or lower according to ASTM E112 and show less than 10%
resolvable pearlite at a magnification of 1000 with a numerical aperture of 0.85. (Nital – nitric acid in ethyl
alcohol – is preferred to picral for etching. Nital is similar to picral for microstructural examination but does
not have the health and safety issues of picric acid). No welds are used in the patenting process.
Cleaning and Coating Rod Pre-treatment.
All cleaning processes are carried out in hydrochloric acid of controlled concentration, temperature and iron
content to ensure total removal of surface scale in the minimum immersion time.
Special inhibitors are routinely added to the baths to minimise acid attack of the underlying steel and
hydrogen absorption in the steel. All coils are visually inspected by the operator before processing further.
The rod coils are chemically coated to aid subsequent wiredrawing. A reactive coating (phosphate) is bonded
to the steel surface followed by a non-reactive outer coat. This combination of coatings provides protection to
the steel surface during wiredrawing and ensures that adequate lubricating soap adheres to the surface to
prevent die/steel contact in the tungsten carbide die.
The composition and temperature of the coating baths are controlled within specified limits to ensure
consistent coating. Coating weights are regularly monitored
5.2 Drawing
Wiredrawing is planned to ensure a minimum storage time of the cleaned and coated rods to prevent
deterioration of the coating.
Wiredrawing is carried out on modern state-of-the art machines with excellent block cooling. Selected dry
soap lubricants are employed to ensure satisfactory lubrication and to aid subsequent cleaning. The die
geometry and aperture sizes are selected according to starting rod and finished wire diameters.
Page 19 of 29
SBM 10th July 2020
Wire drawing conditions are controlled to ensure that the wire temperature does not exceed proven control
limits. Excessive wire temperatures lead to ‘ageing’ in the wire, which is accompanied by reduced ductility
and variable tensile strength.
Wire temperatures are routinely measured, together with the wire diameter after each of the drawing dies.
Coil to coil welds identified and removed after drawing. Each wire coil is tested to confirm the strength and
ductility are satisfactory.
5.3 Final Galvanizing
Kiswire provide wire coating with zinc. The drawn wire is stress relieved before acid cleaning. This
stage prevents embrittlement of the wire and burns any residual drawing coat, which aids cleaning. The stress
relieving temperature is controlled to prevent tensile and ductility changes beyond those resulting from the
zinc coating baths.
The wire is cleaned, fluxed and dried to provide a steel surface which readily reacts with the molten metal and
provide an adherent coat.
The coat weight is controlled to meet the requirements of ASTM A586 Class A or ASTM A856 Class A
through selection of processing conditions. These also ensure a smooth, uniform and continuous coat. Ingots
of 99.95% pure zinc are used for galvanizing.
The mechanical properties, adherence and coat weight are measured on one end of each coil. The zinc coat
weight is measured by a gravimetric test.
Coil to coil welds may be used through the coating process but can be identified and removed after drawing.
5.4 Strand Manufacture
5.4.1 Incoming Material
The delivery note should be checked for quantity and correct wire coil identification. A visual inspection for
damage must be carried out on 100% of the wire coils. Delivery note must be signed for. The goods shall be
unloaded and stored in the correct area. Certification should be forwarded to the appropriate QC person.
Sockets and fittings must be examined visually. They must be clearly identified with the contract name or
number. They should be stored in a secure area (fittings include Pins, Bend Limiters, Anodes etc.)
Lubricants should be clearly identified and should be stored upright with the lids fully sealed.
