Summary:Removing scale from the surface of wire rod before it is drawn is an important operation that affects the structure, mechanical characteristics, and commercial properties of the rod. The West Siberian Metallurgical Combine has worked with the Russian-Bulgarian consortium Ekomet to develop and introduce integrated lines WCM-05 and SCM-07 (for coiled rod) and SCM-02 (for uncoiled rod) to mechanically remove scale. The lines have several advantages over similar existing equipment: they can be installed directly in line with the draw bench; the scale can be removed by a combination of several methods; the installation costs are lower than for comparable facilities.
