PROCESS FOR MAKING WIRE

摘要

The invention relates to a process for making metal wire, comprising: (A) forming metal foil (28); (B) cutting (20) said foil (28) to form at least one strand (30) of metal wire; and (C) shaping (22, 24) said strand of wire to provide said strand with desired cross-sectional shape and size. The process is particularly suitable for making copper wire, especially copper wire having a very thin diameter (e.g., about 0.0002 to about 0.02 inch).
