Summary
Manufacturing process of drawing special steel wire into wire form and imparting dimensions and properties suitable for products.
Description
Special steel wire drawing workers use wire drawing machines (drawing machines) to draw metal materials such as special alloy steel, processing them into specified thicknesses and shapes. They set raw steel wires or wires into the machine, perform drawing while adjusting die diameter, drawing speed, and tension, and inspect surface quality and dimensional accuracy. Depending on the product application, they manage physical properties such as strength and elasticity, and are also responsible for machine maintenance inspections, troubleshooting, and safety and health management.
Future Outlook
While manufacturing sites advance in labor-saving and automation, demand for high-quality special steel wire continues. The value of technicians with knowledge in process optimization using IoT and data utilization increases.
