The invention discloses a
pickling-free cold heading
Kovar alloy wire production process which comprises the following steps: S1,
raw material preparation: preparing the following raw materials in percentage by
mass: 41.5% of Ni, 0.5% of Co, less than or equal to 0.03% of C, less than or equal to 0.05% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.05% of Si, less than or equal to 0.02% of P, less than or equal to 0.02% of S and the balance of Fe; mixing the materials, and carrying out
vacuum induction melting and electroslag remelting to prepare an
alloy ingot; the
alloy cast
ingot is subjected to hot rolling treatment to form a hot-rolled
wire rod with the
diameter being 12.0-16.0 mm; s2, peeling treatment is conducted, specifically,
surface layer defects of the hot-rolled
wire rod in the step S1 are removed through a peeling
machine; s3, dry-type drawing treatment is conducted, specifically, the hot-rolled
wire rod treated in the step S2 is subjected to dry-type drawing through a dry-type drawing die to form an alloy wire; s4, intermediate annealing treatment is conducted, specifically, the alloy wire in the step S3 is placed in an annealing furnace, sufficient
hydrogen is input into the annealing furnace, intermediate annealing is conducted under the
hydrogen protection
atmosphere, the annealing temperature is 950-1100 DEG C, and the annealing walking speed is 3-5 m / min; the surface quality and the size consistency of the wire can be improved, meanwhile, the defects of environmental
pollution,
hydrogen embrittlement and the like are reduced, and the use requirements of high-end precise cold heading parts are met.
