PROCESSING EQUIPMENT FOR BRIGHT BARS & WIRES

1. Processing equipment for small-diameter bright bars of titanium alloys and special alloys 

Titanium alloy and special alloy wire rods are first peeled by using a peeling machine to remove surface cracks and defects from hot rolling. Then, they undergo a rolling/ drawing processes to reduce the diameter. Afterward, they are straightened/cut to length into bars, and then straightened by two rollers straightener until the required straightness is achieved. Finally, a high-efficiency, high-precision dual-wheel centerless grinding and polishing machine is used to produce the very precision and high-quality small-diameter ground bars, widely used on Swiss-type CNC lathes to manufacture precision medical devices, aerospace screws, marine fasteners, military components, optical and semiconductor equipment parts, and other high-precision, high-value-added workpieces. Small-diameter bright bars can improve the yield and production efficiency of CNC lathes. However, the correct process and appropriate equipment are required to produce high quality, high value-added bright bars. In actual equipment selection, material type, bar diameter, expected surface quality, and machining accuracy are all factors that need to be evaluated together. Applied Titanium Corp. is not only providing equipment information but also allows their technical experts to assist customers in consulting process capabilities and equipment configurations.

2. Processing equipment for Precision Titanium Alloy and Special Alloy Wires 

Wire processing is not only drawing/rolling titanium alloy and special alloy wire to a specified diameter. When wire products involve different profile shapes, required dimensions and subsequent processes lead to the corresponding material deformation characteristics and process capabilities of the processing equipment must be well considered. To meet the processing needs of different titanium alloy and special alloy wire, equipment configuration must be selected according to the processing objectives of each process. For example, the wire drawing /rolling process to reduce the wire diameter by using drawing dies/ roller dies, while shaped wire by multi-stand rolling mill to roll specific cross-sectional profiles. The processed titanium alloy and special alloy wire may also require belt polishing to remove oxide scale, and coil winding with re-winding machine. For these different processing stages, Applied Titanium Corp. offers a selection of equipment such as inverted wire drawing machines, shaped wire multi-stand rolling mills, and precision winding machines for titanium alloy and special alloy wire, assisting customers in planning titanium alloy and special alloy wire processing flows that meet their product requirements. The many variations on material, diameter, and finished shape of titanium alloys and special alloy wires can all affect the processing methods and required equipment. Applied Titanium Corp. can assist clients to survey their equipment requirements through professional expert, plan wire processing procedures and production line configurations. From titanium alloy and special alloy wire diameter reduction and shape profile rolling to subsequent coil winding, Applied Titanium Corp. aims to help customers to establish wire processing flows that meet high end product needs through appropriate equipment selection and process integration.
