The effect of cable conductor annealing process on the flexibility of flexible wire

Annealing Process Impact on Flexible Wire Flexural Performance The annealing process directly determines the flexibility of a cable conductor by recrystallizing the elongated, work-hardened crystal grains of drawn copper or aluminum. During cold drawing, the metal’s grain structure becomes highly stressed and elongated, resulting in high tensile strength but severe brittleness and minimal flexibility. Heating […]
