Cold Drawing • Descaled hot rolled bar • Drawn through die • Smooth, bright surface • Close tolerances • Cold working strengthens bar • Improved straightness |
Turning and Polishing • High speed cutting tools remove surface • Polishing by moving through straightening rolls • Less surface imperfections • Improved tolerances, straightness |
Cold Drawing, Grinding, and Polishing • Increased mechanical properties • Very close tolerances • Extremely smooth surface |
Turning, Grinding, and Polishing • High speed cutting tools remove surface • Centerless ground using abrasive wheel • Polished • Very close tolerances • Extremely smooth surface |
