Effect of Cooling System on the Performance of Wet Drawing Machine
During the operation of wet drawing machine equipment, a good cooling effect is necessary. It is a common problem in water tank pulling operations that the lubricating fluid temperature is too high, resulting in a decrease in the lubrication effect.
Moreover, when the lubrication effect decreases, it will also cause the loss of the phosphating layer on the surface of the steel wire to increase, and the friction will increase, which will not only increase the heat, but also affect the service life of the mold, and even cause whitening and cracking in severe cases.
This is because, under normal operating conditions, the lubricating fluid of the wet drawing machine equipment will take away the heat generated by the deformation of the steel wire during the circulation process and act as a coolant.
If the cooling is insufficient, the temperature of the steel wire will increase, the strain aging time will be shortened, and the mechanical properties of the steel wire will deteriorate significantly, such as increased strength, decreased torsion value, and prone to torsion cracks.
In fact, during actual operation, high temperature will not only affect the performance of lubrication, molds, and steel wires but also lead to a deterioration of the operating environment.
After analysis, it was found that the excessive temperature of the water tank wire drawing machine is also related to the high temperature in summer, and it can mainly be attributed to the fact that the cooling capacity of the lubricating fluid circulation cooling system cannot meet the increasing needs of the equipment.
In other words, the cooling system cannot adapt to a higher production scale and cannot quickly remove a large amount of heat. To solve this problem, it is necessary to further enhance the cooling capacity of the system and increase the processing capacity of the lubricant cooling system to reduce the temperature to an appropriate level.
After improving the cooling system, the operating temperature of the water tank wire drawing machine equipment has been significantly reduced.
In this way, the use effect and service life of the lubricant are improved, the mechanical properties of the steel wire are greatly improved, and the consumption of the mold is also reduced.
After comparison, it was found that after the cooling conditions were improved, the lubricant consumption per ton of steel wire was reduced, and the number of wire twists increased.
In general, during the operation of the wet drawing machine equipment, the reasonable use of the cooling tower not only reduces the temperature of the entire lubrication system, but improves the cooling conditions of the wet wire drawing machine equipment, and also improves the surface quality of the steel wire. Significant improvement.
At the same time, abnormal problems such as whitening and cracks are also greatly reduced, and it also has a certain improvement effect on the working environment of employees.
