Zirconia
ceramic wire drawing tower wheel is a component used in the wire drawing
process. Wire drawing is a manufacturing process that involves pulling a metal
wire through a series of dies to reduce its diameter and increase its length.
The wire drawing tower wheel, also known as a capstan or
pulley, is a crucial part of this process. It is typically made from zirconia
ceramic, include magnesia partially stabilied zirconia ceramics, a high-performance material known for its excellent mechanical and
thermal properties. Zirconia ceramics have high hardness, wear resistance, and
thermal stability, making them ideal for applications that involve high
temperatures and abrasive conditions.
The wire drawing tower wheel is mounted on a rotating shaft
and is responsible for guiding the wire through the drawing dies. It provides
the necessary traction and support to ensure smooth and efficient wire drawing.
