Wire is often reduced to the desired diameter and properties by repeated drawing through progressively smaller dies, or traditionally holes in draw plates. After a number of passes the wire may be annealed to facilitate more drawing or, if it is a finished product, to maximize ductility and conductivity.
All operations and in-process inspections are the responsibility of every team member. Every process is inspected and carefully under control. Drawing, galvanizing, annealing, straightening and cutting, redrawing, zinc plating and plastic coating make the major processes for wire treatment.
