Types of Cold Rolling Mills in Steel Wire Production

Steel wire production is a process that requires high precision and durability. The cold rolling mills used in this process ensure that the wire is produced with the desired diameter and surface quality while also improving its mechanical properties. What types of cold rolling mills are used in steel wire production, and what advantages do they offer?
Diamond Rolls
Diamond rolls are preferred in fine and precision steel wire production due to their high wear resistance and excellent surface quality. Advantages of Diamond ND Cold Drawing Rolls:
  • Provides micron-level precise diameter control.
  • Extremely resistant to wear and highly durable.
  • Ensures a smooth and bright surface finish.
  • Minimizes the risk of wire breakage.
Applications: Electrical conductor wires, fine steel wires, medical wires, aerospace, and jewelry industries.
PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) Rolls
PCD cold drawing rolls offer the advantages of diamond rolls with a more economical solution, making them the ideal choice for steel wire manufacturers engaged in mass production. Advantages of PCD Cold Drawing Rolls:
  • Provides long service life thanks to its high hardness.
  • Resistant to wear, maintaining wire quality throughout production.
  • Ensures high efficiency in mass production lines.
  • Can be used across a wider range of wire diameters.
Applications: Industrial steel wires, automotive wire components, and welding wires.
Tungsten Carbide Rolls
Tungsten carbide rolls are widely used in wire production due to their high hardness and durability. They are preferred for drawing thicker and harder steel wires. Advantages of Carbide Cold Drawing Rolls:
  • Ideal for drawing medium and thick-diameter steel wires.
  • Resistant to wear and offers high production capacity.
  • Strong against impacts and hard surfaces.
  • A more economical alternative compared to diamond rolls.
Applications: Tube wires, steel ropes, wires for the construction and building industries, garden and fence wires.
Special Rolls for Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel
In the production of carbon steel and stainless steel wires, high performance is achieved through the use of specially alloyed rolls. Advantages of Special Alloy Cold Drawing Rolls:
  • Provides an optimized drawing process tailored to the specific type of steel.
  • Enables durable wire production and prevents cracking during manufacturing.
  • Helps achieve a corrosion-resistant surface finish.
Applications: Automotive, defense industry, marine applications, and high-strength steel wire production.
What Should Be Considered When Choosing a Cold Drawing Roll?
  • The diameter and material properties of the steel wire to be produced should be considered.
  • The roll with the most suitable wear resistance should be selected according to the production volume.
  • Surface quality and smoothness requirements should be taken into account.
  • The decision should balance cost and long-term durability.
