Abstract
Mastering the production of high-carbon wire rod — especially cord-grade wire rod — on a mini-complex originally built at the Moldavian Metallurgical Plant to make ordinary wire rod was a daunting problem that has been solved by a collaboration with the Ukrainian Academy of Science’s Institute of Metallurgy. Researchers developed an integrated technology for making the steel, continuous-cast semifinished products, and wire rod needed to make metal cord of ordinary, high, and ultrahigh strength. The wire rod is characterized by a good-quality surface (defect depth no greater than 0.15 mm, with 95% being no deeper than 0.10 mm), good deformability, and the ease with which it can be converted into wire, strands, and cord structures.
