Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of string preparation, and specifically provides a method for preparing strings with a long service life. Background Art

[0002] A string is a wire that excites sound on a stringed instrument. Under a certain tension, the string is vibrated by means such as friction and plucking, and after being amplified by a resonance cavity, musical sounds are obtained. It is the most important component of a stringed instrument; a good string should have good sound quality, quick tuning, stable pitch, good playability, and a long service life. The lower the tension of the string, the more comfortable it is to press the string, but it also increases the possibility of fret buzz. The greater the tension does not necessarily mean a greater volume. A string with a higher tension will vibrate more violently, but this form of vibration does not play a major role in terms of volume; and the strings of a folk guitar refer to steel strings. For the first and second strings, the material is a high-carbon steel, which has good stretchability and elasticity. After being soaked in tin, a protective film is coated on it, reducing external corrosion and extending the service time. At the same time, it also has a bright appearance and a smooth feel.

[0003] However, due to the limitations of high-carbon steel materials, the strength and deformation ability of the strings themselves are also limited, and the high-carbon steel materials also limit the corrosion resistance of the strings. For example, in the patent document with the publication number CN108039159A, a method for preparing high-strength bass piano strings is disclosed. This published patent document still completely uses high-carbon steel for processing without adding other materials and processes, resulting in the overall performance of the strings still being very low; therefore, it is necessary to further increase the maximum tension, maximum torsion, and corrosion resistance of high-carbon piano strings during the process of preparing high-carbon steel into strings in order to increase and break through the service life of the strings. For this reason, this application proposes a method for preparing strings with a long service life that can increase the overall comprehensive performance of the strings. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing strings with a long service life, which solves the problems raised in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for preparing strings with a long service life includes raw material preparation, processing and shaping, string performance inspection, and finished product packaging. The raw material preparation includes raw material ratio and primary raw material processing. The raw material ratio includes the following components: 90 - 95 parts of iron, 3 - 8 parts of carbon, 2.5 - 4.5 parts of silicon, 2 - 7 parts of manganese, 0.1 - 0.2 parts of titanium, 0.01 - 0.04 parts of zirconium, 1 - 3 parts of additive one, and 1 - 3 parts of additive two. The primary raw material processing uses a melting machine to melt and mix the above raw materials, and the melted and mixed mixture is then extruded into a rough steel wire.

[0007] The processing and forming includes the drawing of thick steel wires, the heat treatment of thick steel wires, and the chemical treatment of thin steel wires;

[0008] The performance inspection of the strings includes the detection of the diameter of thin steel wires, the detection of the tension of thin steel wires, the detection of the torsion of thin steel wires, and the corrosion resistance detection of thin steel wires;

[0009] The finished product packaging includes rust removal on the surface of the strings and wrapping protection on the surface of the strings.

[0010] As a further scheme of the present invention: The first auxiliary agent is a process auxiliary agent, and the second auxiliary agent is a stability auxiliary agent.

[0011] As a further scheme of the present invention: The melting temperature of the melting machine is 2400 - 2900 °C, and the melting time is 4 - 5 h. The diameter of the thick steel wire formed by extrusion is 6 - 10 mm.

[0012] As a further scheme of the present invention: The drawing of the thick steel wire uses a drawing machine to draw the thick steel wire into a thin steel wire. The heat treatment of the thick steel wire uses annealing to perform annealing operation on the thick steel wire. The drawing of the thick steel wire and the heat treatment of the thick steel wire are carried out reciprocally. The chemical treatment of the thin steel wire is used to perform carburizing operation on the drawn and heat-treated steel wire.

[0013] As a further scheme of the present invention: After the drawing of the thick steel wire is carried out multiple times, the diameter of the steel wire reaches 1 mm. The annealing temperature of the heat treatment of the thick steel wire is 600 - 700 °C, and the cooling temperature is room temperature.

[0014] As a further scheme of the present invention: The detection of the diameter of the thin steel wire is carried out using a micrometer. The detection of the tension of the thin steel wire is carried out using a tension tester. The detection of the torsion of the thin steel wire is carried out using a torsion tester. The corrosion resistance detection of the thin steel wire is carried out using a salt spray corrosion test machine.

[0015] As a further scheme of the present invention: The detection standard of the diameter of the thin steel wire is that the error between the diameters at various positions in the axial direction of the thin steel wire and the standard diameter of 1 mm is less than 1%. The detection method of the tension detection of the thin steel wire is that three thin steel wires are taken for each detection and the average value of the tension is taken for the detection result. The detection method of the torsion detection of the thin steel wire is that three thin steel wires are taken for each detection and the average value of the torsion is taken for the detection result. The detection method of the corrosion resistance detection of the thin steel wire is that three thin steel wires are taken for each detection to carry out a salt spray experiment at the same temperature and the same concentration, and the average value of the corrosion fracture time is calculated.

[0016] As a further scheme of the present invention: The rust removal on the surface of the strings is carried out by soaking in dilute hydrochloric acid. The wrapping protection on the surface of the strings is carried out by wrapping the surface of the strings with long filament plastic fibers.

[0017] As a further solution of the present invention: the surface of the string is pickled with a hydrochloric acid solution with a concentration of 4%, and the pickling time is 10 minutes. The surface of the string is wrapped with two layers of filament plastic fibers for protection.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of the present application are as follows:

[0019] 1. The process of this method is complete and reliable. Adding process aids and stability aids during the raw material preparation process can greatly increase the maximum tension and maximum torque of the strings, thereby increasing the strength and deformation ability of the strings themselves. When the ratio of the process aids to the stability aids is the same, the strength and deformation ability of the strings themselves can be further increased. Moreover, by adding the stability aids, the antioxidant ability of the strings themselves is increased, preventing hydrolysis or deterioration, and greatly increasing the service life.

[0020] 2. By repeatedly performing the drawing of the thick steel wire and the heat treatment of the thick steel wire, and performing multiple annealing treatments during the multiple drawing processes of the steel wire, both the stability during the drawing process and the overall strength of the strings can be ensured.

[0021] 3. Through the string performance inspection, the diameter, maximum tension, maximum torque and corrosion resistance of the fine steel wire can be detected, which is convenient for distinguishing qualified products and greatly increases the qualified rate of the strings.

[0022] 4. By pickling the surface of the string with a hydrochloric acid solution, the neatness of the wrapping of the filament plastic fibers is ensured. And by wrapping the filament plastic fibers, not only can the feel of plucking the string be increased, but also the contact between the steel wire and the air can be reduced, further playing a role in protecting the string.

[0068] Example Nine:

[0069] The present invention provides a method for preparing a string with a long service life, which includes raw material preparation, processing and shaping, string performance inspection, and finished product packaging. Raw material preparation includes raw material ratio and preliminary raw material processing. The raw material ratio consists of the following components: 93 parts of iron, 6 parts of carbon, 3.5 parts of silicon, 5 parts of manganese, 0.15 parts of titanium, 0.03 parts of zirconium, 3 parts of additive one, and 3 parts of additive two. Additive one is a process additive, and additive two is a stability additive. Preliminary raw material processing uses a melting machine to melt and mix the above raw materials. The melting temperature of the melting machine is 2750 °C, and the melting time is 4.5 h. The molten and mixed mixture is then extruded into a thick steel wire, and the diameter of the extruded thick steel wire is 8 mm.

[0070] Processing and shaping includes drawing of the thick steel wire, heat treatment of the thick steel wire, and chemical treatment of the thin steel wire. Drawing of the thick steel wire uses a drawing machine to draw the thick steel wire into a thin steel wire. Heat treatment of the thick steel wire uses annealing to perform an annealing operation on the thick steel wire. Chemical treatment of the thin steel wire is used to perform carburizing on the drawn and heat-treated steel wire.

[0071] String performance inspection includes detection of the diameter of the thin steel wire, detection of the tension of the thin steel wire, detection of the torsion of the thin steel wire, and detection of the corrosion resistance of the thin steel wire. Detection of the diameter of the thin steel wire is performed using a micrometer. Detection of the tension of the thin steel wire is performed using a tension tester. The detection method for the tension of the thin steel wire is: each time three thin steel wires are taken for detection and the average value of the tension is taken for the detection result. Detection of the torsion of the thin steel wire is performed using a torsion tester. The detection method for the torsion of the thin steel wire is: each time three thin steel wires are taken for detection and the average value of the torsion is taken for the detection result. Detection of the corrosion resistance of the thin steel wire is performed using a salt spray corrosion test machine. The detection method for the corrosion resistance of the thin steel wire is: each time three thin steel wires are taken for the same-temperature and same-concentration salt spray experiment, and the average value of the corrosion fracture time is calculated.

[0072] Finished product packaging includes rust removal on the surface of the string and wrapping protection on the surface of the string. Rust removal on the surface of the string is performed by soaking in a hydrochloric acid solution with a concentration of 4%, and the soaking time is 10 min. Wrapping protection on the surface of the string is performed by wrapping with long filament plastic fibers in two layers.

[0073] The following is a data table of string performance inspection for each embodiment:

[0074] Each embodiment Embodiment 1 Embodiment 2 Embodiment 3 Embodiment 4 Embodiment 5 Embodiment 6 Embodiment 7 Embodiment 8 Embodiment 9 Maximum tension / KN 1.61 1.42 1.48 1.43 1.65 1.51 1.49 1.15 1.69 Maximum torque / KN 1.23 1.09 1.16 1.09 1.25 1.19 1.17 1.2 1.27 Corrosion fracture time / h 46.3 49.4 52.8 46.2 49.5 52.9 46.2 49.4 53

[0075] This method has a complete and reliable process. Adding a process additive and a stability additive during raw material preparation can greatly increase the maximum tension and maximum torsion of the string, thereby increasing the strength and deformation ability of the string itself. When the ratio of the process additive to the stability additive is the same, the strength and deformation ability of the string itself can be further increased. Moreover, by adding the stability additive, the antioxidant ability of the string itself is increased, preventing hydrolysis or deterioration, and greatly increasing the service life;

[0076] The drawing of thick steel wires and the heat treatment of thick steel wires are carried out reciprocally. During the process of drawing the steel wires multiple times, annealing treatment is carried out multiple times to ensure the stability during the drawing process and the overall strength of the strings.

[0077] Through the performance inspection of the strings, the diameter, maximum tension, maximum torsion and corrosion resistance of the fine steel wires can be detected, which is convenient for distinguishing qualified products and greatly increases the qualified rate of the strings.

[0078] The surface of the strings is derusted by soaking in hydrochloric acid solution to ensure the neatness of the wrapped long filament plastic fibers. By wrapping the long filament plastic fibers, it can not only increase the feel of plucking the strings, but also reduce the contact between the steel wires and the air, further playing a role in protecting the strings.

[0079] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
