Continuous manufacture of metal wires, e.g. in electrical industry, involves shaping round metal wire to form flat wire in laterally open gauge at least during final stage and without significant decrease in cross-section

摘要

The wire manufacturing method involves reducing the cross-section of a round wire (4) in one or more stages. The metal wire is shaped to form a flat wire (5) in a laterally open gauge at least during the final stage. The wire is re-shaped into a flat wire without a significant decreases in its cross-section. The metal wire is formed into a flat wire with a maximum ratio of thickness to width of a 1 : 5. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: (a) an arrangement for implementing the inventive method.
