Glossary
- Wire drawing
- A cold-forming process that reduces rod or wire diameter by pulling metal through a series of dies, improving surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
- Annealing
- A controlled heat treatment that softens wire or tube after drawing or forming, restoring ductility and reducing internal stress so the material can be further processed.
- Bunching
- Twisting many fine wires together into a flexible conductor, commonly used for flexible cables and automotive wire.
- Stranding
- Assembling individual wires into a layered conductor construction to achieve the required current capacity, flexibility, and mechanical performance.
- Extrusion
- A continuous process in which softened polymer compound is forced through a die and applied around a conductor to form insulation or a jacket.
- Cross-linking
- A chemical or physical process that bonds polymer chains together, improving a cable's resistance to heat, abrasion, chemicals, and deformation.
- Sheath or jacket
- The outer protective layer of a cable, formulated to resist moisture, abrasion, UV exposure, chemicals, or mechanical damage depending on the application.
- ERW tube
- Electric resistance welded tube made by forming steel strip into a cylinder and welding the longitudinal seam with high-frequency electrical current.
- Seamless tube
- Tube produced from a solid billet that is pierced and rolled without a welded seam, often specified for pressure, high-temperature, or critical mechanical duties.
- LSAW pipe
- Longitudinal submerged arc welded pipe made from formed steel plate, with the seam welded from one or both sides for large-diameter line pipe and structural applications.
- Pickling
- An acid treatment that removes oxide scale and surface contamination from wire, strip, or tube before drawing, rolling, coating, or further processing.
- Drawbench
- A bench-type drawing machine used for tube reduction or wire drawing, pulling the workpiece through a die while controlling speed, force, and lubrication.
- Drawing die
- A shaped tool, usually tungsten carbide or diamond for wire, that controls diameter, surface finish, and shape as metal is pulled through it.
- Pay-off and take-up
- The unwinding and winding systems that feed wire, cable, or tube into a production line and collect the finished product on spools, coils, or reels.
- NDT
- Non-destructive testing methods such as eddy current, ultrasonic, X-ray, or visual inspection used to detect defects without cutting or damaging the product.
