1. wire drawing powder, the common name of dry "wiredrawing lubricant", also called "wiredrawing lubricant powder", is usually divided into calcium-based wire drawing powder and Naki wire drawing powder. In the deformation process of steel wire cold drawing, it can play a lubricating role, greatly reduce the friction coefficient, save energy consumption and prolong the service life of wire drawing die. In the process of high-speed drawing, the faster the drawing speed, the better the lubrication effect. When drawing low-carbon steel wire, high-carbon steel wire, special alloy steel wire and stainless steel wire, a lubricating film will be formed with the deformation temperature of steel wire in the process of high temperature and high pressure drawing, which will protect the finished wire and improve the surface quality of the finished wire.
2. Application development: China's industrial wire drawing powder started late. In 1980s, China's metal wire drawing industry began to introduce foreign production technologies and concepts. 1986, after the Ministry of Metallurgy issued the subject of "Process Lubrication for High-speed Continuous Drawing", the XAG industrial wire drawing powder successfully developed by Sheng Da Guangming Chemical Plant in Anqiu City was completely superior to the imported Japanese WD- 100M wire drawing powder in three large-scale tests held by Xianyang Steel Pipe Rope Factory, Dalian Steel Rope Factory and Shougang Special Steel Company, thus ending the monopoly position of foreign wire drawing powder in the domestic drawing industry.
3. After more than 20 years of technical accumulation and innovation, the performance of wire drawing powder, a self-produced industry in China, has caught up with and surpassed that of imported wire drawing powder in some aspects. At present, representatives of wire drawing powder manufacturing industry in China are Tianjin Terrence and Anqiu Sheng Da Guangming Chemical Plant.
