1、 Performance characteristics

Cold drawn steel has several performance characteristics:

1. High strength: Through cold drawing deformation, the whisker structure of cold drawn steel has been optimized, resulting in a significant increase in its strength. The strength uniformity of cold drawn steel is also relatively good, which can meet various engineering requirements for strength.

2. Good toughness: During the cold drawing process, the grains of cold drawn steel are refined and homogenized, resulting in improved toughness. Compared to other types of steel, cold drawn steel performs better under impact and dynamic loads.

3. High dimensional accuracy: The manufacturing process of cold drawn steel can ensure its high dimensional accuracy. By controlling parameters such as elongation and deformation temperature during the cold drawing process, cold drawn steel products that meet accuracy requirements can be obtained.

4. Strong integration: Cold drawn steel can be produced with different cross-sectional shapes through continuous optimization of design and manufacturing processes. It can meet the needs of customers for special cross-sectional shapes and provide greater flexibility for engineering design.

2、 Application field

Cold drawn steel is widely used in several fields:

1. Construction engineering: Cold drawn steel can be used in load-bearing structures such as beams, columns, and trusses. Its high strength and excellent toughness can improve the seismic performance and service life of buildings.

2. Mechanical manufacturing: Cold drawn steel can be used to manufacture mechanical components, machine tool beds, transmission shafts, etc. Its high strength and high dimensional accuracy can improve the operational efficiency and reliability of mechanical equipment.

3. Ship construction: Cold drawn steel can be used for beams, frames, and other parts of ship structures. Its high strength and excellent toughness can improve the structural strength and navigation performance of ships.

4. Other fields: Cold drawn steel can also be used to manufacture lifting and conveying equipment, such as bridge cranes, conveyors, etc. Its high strength and high dimensional accuracy can improve the efficiency and safety of equipment.

3、 Introduction to Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing process of cold drawn steel mainly includes several steps:

1. Raw material preparation: Select suitable steel as the raw material, and the product requires cutting and pre-treatment.

2. Heating treatment: Heat the raw materials to a temperature to improve their plasticity and deformability. Usually, methods such as resistance heating and induction heating are used.

3. Cold drawing deformation: Cold drawing deformation operation is carried out through equipment such as a drawing machine. Through this process, the cross-sectional area of the raw material decreases and the length increases, thereby achieving an improvement in strength and toughness.

4. Cooling treatment: The steel after cold drawing needs to undergo cooling treatment to stabilize its structure and properties.

5. Size adjustment: To adjust the size of the cold drawn steel to meet the design requirements for dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

Summary:

Cold drawn steel has excellent performance characteristics and is widely used in fields such as construction, machinery manufacturing, and shipbuilding. The manufacturing process is simple and excellent mechanical properties can be obtained through cold drawing deformation. In the future, we should continue to research and explore the manufacturing process and application fields of cold drawn steel to meet the constantly changing market demands.
