The diagram illustrates a sequential process of wire manufacturing.
Overall, the manufacturing of wire is a multi-stage process involving multiple facilities to convert raw materials like coking coal into wire that is widely used in industrial purposes. Notably, this procedure requires high temperature as a catalyst for the reactions to occur.
Initially, extracted coking coal and iron ore are fed into a blast furnace at 1300 Celsius degree, in which extra coking coal can be added from the top of the machine. The mixture is then transferred through a pipe to an arc furnace for the combining process, which occurs at 1800 Celsius degree. During the process, reduced coal is added through a small, angled tube on top of the equipment. Afterwards, the combination is moved into another furnace through the pipe for the removal of gas. This reaction occurs at the same temperature as the combining process, with the catalysation of lime, and culminates with the production of vat, which is transferred into a container using a liquid metal tube.
As for the remaining steps, the vat is subsequently poured into different moulds with diverse sizes, ranking from bigger to smaller, allowing for the substance to gradually form the basic string shape of a wire. Following this, it passes through a conveyor belt for pressing and shaping process, before being cooled at another facility at 150 Celsius degree. Finally, it is cooled down for another time and packed.
