AI Technical Summary
In current iron wire production, an oxide layer forms on the surface after annealing, making it difficult to clean with pickling, leaving residual acid and affecting service life.
Using low-carbon steel material, after drawing the wire through a six-stage straight-in wire drawing machine, it undergoes a stepped cooling treatment in a spheroidizing annealing furnace, followed by phosphating treatment in a phosphating tank, eliminating the need for pickling and directly forming a phosphating layer.
This process achieves a zero oxide layer on the iron wire surface, improves its hardness and smoothness, enhances product toughness, and avoids rusting problems caused by acid pickling.

[0002] Iron wire is a cold-processed product of steel wire rod, and the material used is usually selected from high-carbon steel or stainless steel. It usually goes through a number of procedures such as disc element peeling, pickling, water washing, saponification, drying, drawing, annealing, cooling, pickling, water washing, zinc plating line, packaging, etc. The existing iron wire production often forms an oxide layer on the surface after annealing treatment, and the iron wire needs to be acidified to remove the surface oxide layer, but acidification treatment will leave residual acid on the surface, which is difficult to clean, and thus the iron wire is prone to rust, reducing the service life.
