wire 2012 show

26 - 30 March

Flashwire is designed to meet the most stringent production requirement by providing optimal wire surface quality (for chrome nish) and fully adapted for 2D/3D CNC wire bending machines. The wire is very clean with no helix and o ers uniform mechanical properties. Galva ash, a shiny galvanised wire is manufactured through an innovative and patented in-line galvanising process, allowing an homogeneity of the zinc coating concentricity, an excellent weldability with good protection between spots of solder as well as good forming and bending properties. Prezinc 500, a corrugated galvanised steel wire provides e ective protection against concrete fatigue and corrosion avoiding cracking and ruptures into the concrete. The new product, zinc/aluminium wire will be on display at the show.

German surface treatment specialist Staku-Anlagenbau introduced its e-systems last year and processes e-clean, e-phos and e-copp instantly became more popular worldwide. The e-clean process not only needs a fractional amount of the usual treatment time but also achieves far better cleaning results. During the electrolytic cleaning, continuous current ows to any spot of the metal surface and generates small hydrogen and dioxygen blisters according to polarisation. The pollutant particles are blasted away from the surface by the emerging gas pressure, resulting in surface cleaning.

The patented e-phos technology is a continuous electrolytic zinc-calcium phosphating process used for coating of cold heading and steel wire material. The in-line production enables the user to perform the de-scaling and phosphating process in one pass. Optimum cold- forming and drawing results are obtained by the 100 per cent coverage of wire surface. The ne crystalline structure of the electrolytically deposited zinc-cal- cium-phosphate layer quickly dries and provides, due to the zinc proportion, very good corrosion protection. In the e-copp process, dissolved copper-ions get deposited on the wire
