Metal wire drawing process

Brushing treatment of metal surfaces constitutes a metalworking technique whereby brushing materials are employed to further process the surface with linear patterns, creating a textured finish. This surface treatment technology serves an ornamental purpose.

After undergoing a brushed finish treatment, metal surfaces become more wear-resistant and acquire a richer texture, lending them a more sophisticated appearance. Consequently, this finishing technique is not only widely employed but also highly favoured by numerous users.

There are numerous types of brushed finishes, including: long-grain brushing, short-grain brushing, coarse-grain sanding, fine-grain sanding, cross-hatch brushing, random-pattern brushing, natural-colour brushing, and coloured brushing.

Wire Drawing Wheels

Wire drawing wheels encompass winged wheels, scouring pad wheels, flap wheels, and nylon wheels with embedded abrasive grit. These represent a superior yet economical category within grinding products, distinguished by exceptional performance. They offer remarkable flexibility and conformability, coupled with potent cutting power, producing distinct grain patterns, high gloss, uniform linear effects, and consistent results. These wheels resist blackening, eliminate the need for waxing, demonstrate excellent wear resistance, and deliver cost-effective durability.

1. Excellent uniformity: After polishing and wire drawing, the wire paths exhibit no variations in depth, demonstrating consistent uniformity throughout. This enables rapid wire production and high workpiece efficiency.

2. Superior Heat Dissipation: Constructed with a three-dimensional structure featuring ample elastic voids, preventing workpiece surfaces from blackening, discolouring, or retaining residues due to overheating during grinding.

3. Versatile Application: Suitable for polishing, brushing, and surface treatment across diverse materials including stainless steel, aluminium alloys, copper, iron components, and various metals. Ideal for stainless steel sinks, extractor hoods, kitchenware, metro carriages, lift panels, digital device surfaces, and more.

Brush wheels deliver excellent results for post-welding restoration of stainless steel, addressing scratches, small-area brushing, polishing to a high shine, and smoothing uneven or irregular surfaces, curved surfaces, sheet metal, and internal corners. They are suitable for industries including metalworking, woodworking, and stone processing.

When employing brush wheels for surface treatment, attention must be paid to the brushing process sequence. Prior polishing and grinding before brushing provides a superior surface condition for the workpiece.

Brushing materials may also be employed for restoring and repairing workpiece surfaces. Where unavoidable scratches or weld marks occur during processing, selecting an appropriate brushing material according to the surface grain pattern will effect restoration.
