TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high-temperature wire processing, in particular to a bright spring steel wire production process. BACKGROUND
[0002] Piano wire is a kind of high-strength spring material formed by lead bath quenching and cold drawing, which has very high strength limit and elastic limit, and is widely used as a small spring material. The quality and performance requirements of piano wire are strict, and it can be divided into dynamic load spring, high-stress mechanical spring and valve spring according to the use. The production process of piano wire is generally divided into three parts: rough drawing, annealing (solid solution treatment), fine drawing. After each drawing, the steel wire is drawn again after solid solution treatment, and finally drawn to the required specification, and the deformation amount during the final drawing is adjusted according to the performance of the finished product; when producing piano wire from carbon steel material, the heat treatment before drawing the finished product generally adopts electric contact heating spheroidizing treatment to ensure the uniform performance of the steel wire rod and improve the heating speed, shorten the heating time, and reduce the iron oxide skin and decarburization layer caused by heating. After heat treatment, hydrochloric acid pickling is used to speed up the pickling speed and make the steel wire surface have good surface quality; after pickling, the steel wire without plating layer can be treated with phosphating coating, and the plated steel wire can be treated with yellowing or borax; compared with stainless steel material, the process of making piano wire from carbon steel is complicated, and in order to ensure corrosion resistance, the surface will generally be treated, such as zinc plating, nickel plating, etc. The use of stainless steel material to process steel wire has the advantages of high strength, good plasticity and corrosion resistance without plating; but when preparing spring steel wire from existing stainless steel material, the quality requirements of some products need to reach mirror surface, and the existing rough drawing, annealing (solid solution treatment) and fine drawing cannot meet the quality requirements, and the use of lubricating oil and polycrystalline die to achieve mirror surface products cannot meet the requirements due to the residue of lubricating oil, and the cleaning process for cleaning the lubricating oil will also affect the surface quality.
