Wire Technology

Wire drawing is a metalworking process, drawing a line (s). The engineering applications of wire drawing are broad and far-reaching, including electrical wiring, cables, tension-loaded structural components, springs, paper clips and spokes for wheels.

This all-new, classical text is the first to explain the concept of a universal way for practicing engineers.

Roger Wright provides you with the following details: Roger Wright

• A technical overview and introduction to the theory behind the process.


• An interface with basic engineering education as an offer for engineers new to the field


• Real-world worked examples, problems and protocols based on real life engineering scenarios and challenges


• Unique coverage of the author's own design and risk analysis, developed through the decades of research and wire industry consulting

Whilst most competing titles are more or less practical in their approach. Ideal for use as a complete solution for solving the problem of solving, solving and training. processes at minimal cost for maximum performance.

• Provides a unique universal approach, covering ferrous and non-ferrous metals


• Authored by an internationally-recognized specialist in wire drawing with an extensive academic and industry experience


• Real-world worked examples, problems, and protocols based on true life, engineering scenarios and challenges allow engineers to easily apply the theory to productivity, efficiency and efficiency


• Compact, concise and practical in comparison to the large, compere handbook tomes that are overwhelming for beginners and impractical for day-to-day work use


• Ideal for use as a complete insight in the problem of solving, analysis and trouble-shooting.
