Abstract

The increasing environmental exigencies demand that the oxide removal of steel wire rod before drawing is carried out by mechanical means, replacing the traditional descaling, wich is polluting. In such sense the objective of the present work is to settle down the operational conditions during the cooling of low carbon steel wire rod of 5.5 mm in diameter in order to have a minimum increase in the amount of rod oxide, so that it is more easily removable by mechanical cleaning before drawing. An additional objective is to simulate by means of the explicit finite differences method the temperature distribution of these wire rod during cooling. A good correlation model-experience is obtained, with temperature differences that do not exceed 4 %. On the other hand it is found that slowing water cooling is results in an increase of the total oxide to values averaging 0.7 % in weight, as specified by the drawing industry.
