DETERMINATION OF THE POLISHING QUALITY IN THE WORKING CHANNEL OF THE DRAWING OF CARBIDE TOOLS PRODUCED BY OJSC «BSW – MANAGEMENT COMPANY OF HOLDING «BMC»

Abstract

The quality of the drawing tool depends on the quality of the channel. Channel processing is carried out in order to obtain the desired geometric shape, required size and limit deviations in accordance with the size and quality of the wire stretched, as well as to obtain the required purity of the surface of the channel drawing. The determination of the surface roughness in the die channel is not possible due to the design of the die, so the quality control of the channel polishing is carried out by a visual method using a stereoscopic microscope.In the laboratories at the Central laboratory of OJSC «BSW – Management Company of Holding «BMC» the experience was undertaken for the determination of the roughness parameter in the channel of the dies by the method of destructive testing. The results obtained show that the visual method of quality control of the working channel polishing of the carbide drawing tool with the help of a stereoscopic microscope provides sufficient accuracy of assessing the quality of the roughness of the surface of the working channel when monitoring the draw die intended for coarse-medium and thin drawing.
