Interwire is a resource and an opportunity Publisher | Steven J. Fetteroll

My first interaction with the Wire Association International was attending the 1983 Interwire show. No, I didn’t attend the inaugural show in 1981, probably because the event and I were both too new to justify the time out of the plant. However, I have been to just about every show since, and I always look forward to the experience. I think it is true for all of us—especially for anyone with responsibilities in operations—that there are very few opportunities to get away from the operation and when there is a chance, for some strange reason, we are hesitant to take advantage of it. I understand the reasons for not attending. My colleagues and I agree that there is too much to do, or that the operation is short staffed, and— my favorite—that there are budget constraints. Well, after 37 years in the business, I can tell you with certainty that you will always be short staffed and have too many projects on your desk, and budget constraints will outlast all of us. My position is that Interwire can be your solution center. No, you can’t solve every problem, but if you think of the show as an opportunity to address two or three of your challenges, then justifying your time and expense is easy. My opportunity list this year involves packaging, and by the end of Interwire, I plan to leave knowing what is on the short-term horizon in this area. If you are a professional in the wire and cable industry, I think that it is your responsibility to your company and yourself to understand the industry trends and the best practices among your peers, and to know what is in the innovation pipeline. This is the basis for Interwire. Where else can we spend time with colleagues, competitors and suppliers in a forum that provides ROI to our employers while supporting our profession? From a business standpoint, I see a lot of value in attending Interwire.

INDUSTRY NEWS LS Cable & Cable reports first European order for submarine cable South Korea’s LS Cable & System announced that it has landed its first European submarine cable contract, worth 16 million euros, to supply Dong Energy for an offshore wind power generation complex. A press release said that LS Cable & System will provide both 150kV level submarine cables, a first, and 150 kV & 275 kV EHV underground cable and connection materials. Dong Energy, a Danish state enterprise and the largest wind power generation company in Europe, will use the cables LS Cable & System Executive Vice for the comPresident Jae-In Yoon, l, poses with plex it will Dong Energy Senior Vice President Bent build in Christensen after signing the contract. Westermost Rough on the Southeastern Coast of the U.K. The cables will transmit electric energy generated in the wind power generation complex and send it to the land area of an inland transmission site, it said. “With the order, LS Cable & System is making an official entry into Europe, the world’s most advanced offshore wind power generation market,” the release said. “The scale of European offshore wind power generation market is forecast to more than double from $13.5 billion in 2012 to $30 billion in 2020. Accordingly, the submarine cable market is expected to grow exponentially and thus, LS Cable & System is forecasting a sales increase in the European submarine cable market following its recent performance in the U.S. and the Middle East.” The release said that winning the contract for the submarine cables is especially notable as Europe is home to advanced cable makers such as Prysmian and Nexans, which confirms LS Cable & System has attained a global standard in terms of its product competitiveness. “Having supplied extra high-voltage cables to France last year, LS Cable & System signed a contract for submarine cable supply this year.” Observed LS Cable & System President Ja-Eun Koo in the release, “(This news) holds great significance in that

we can now enter the European submarine cable market following the U.S. and the Middle East. We will focus all our strengths to new submarine cable markets in the future.”

Southwire reorganization of Canadian operations to close Stouffville plant U.S.-based Southwire Company announced significant changes this year for its operations in Canada, where it plans to close its lone manufacturing plant, in Stouffville, Ontario, and relocate its Canadian headquarters. In a press release, Eric Schmidt, president of Southwire Canada, said that the company continues to face challenges in the North American wire and cable market. “While we feel the market has settled, we do not see significant improvements in the near future, leaving us with excess capacity and decreased production efficiency.” Southwire intends to close the Stouffville operations this year and shift product orders to plants in other areas, the release said. The move, it noted, will allow the company to reduce excess capacity while taking advantage of the proximity of other facilities to raw materials. Southwire purchased the Stouffville facility, which employs about 150 people, from Cable Tech in 2006. “The closure is not a reflection on our people, their performance or the quality of their work,” Schmidt said. “As our business continues to be affected by several factors, this is one of the tough decisions that allow Southwire Canada to remain profitable in an increasingly competitive market.” To further the focus on efficiency, the release said, Southwire will consolidate its Canadian business units— including sales, marketing and support staff—under one roof in Mississauga, Ontario, in late April.

SKET reports order from Turkey Germany’s SKET GmbH reports that it has supplied and commissioned double-twist bunching machines, tubular stranding machines and a cage-type stranding machine for Erciyes Celik Halat in Kayseri, Turkey. A press release said that the 13 systems were delivered over a year’s period that concluded in November 2012. The machines, it said, are capable of producing a wide range of steel wire ropes for lifts, cranes and mining applications together with ACSR cables. The stranding machines, which were commissioned at the end of 2012, were valued at about 10 million euros, and “further projects with this customer are in the planning stage.” The news follows SKET’s commissioning last November of what it described as “one of the longest

That system, it said, can produce ropes with diameters up to 250 mm on the closing machine in takeup weights of up to 650 metric tons. The 8 x 2700 cage strander, it said, has bobbins with a capacity of 38 metric tons and a 16 x 2300 cage strander having bobbins with a capacity of 15 metric tons.

Malaysia anti-dumping tax imposed on certain countries for steel wire rod China.org reported that the Malaysian government has announced that it will impose anti dumping duties on steel wire rods imports from China/Taiwan, Indonesia and South Korea for five years beginning February 20.

Correction Due to an editing error, responses from P&R Specialty (www.prspecialty.com) were left out of the February feature on reels/packaging equipment. Below are the responses from Vince Reidy, vice president of sales. WJI: Do you consider your lines of reels commodities? Reidy: Reels and spools are really a consumable for packaging wire and cable, so there will always be on-going demand, and if that is all the provider offers, it could be classified as a commodity. What differentiates P&R from other providers is the highest level of service in the industry, consistent quality of products, in-house tool/mold capabilities and its ingrained culture of operational excellence. This combination of quality products, high level of customer service and operational excellence is a vehicle to help customers improve operational excellence and reduce cost in the supply chain for spools and reels. WJI: Beyond cost and the ability for a reel to perform correctly, what are customers interested in? Reidy: Customers are interested in a good business proposition that includes just-in-time supply chain programs to reduce inventory and improve cash flow. An effective JIT program will include quantities of product delivered on time to assure no interruptions occur in the supply chain, eco-

SMS Meer to supply Chinese plant Germany’s SMS Meer reports that it has received an order for a complete CONTIROD® type casting and rolling plant to produce copper rod from a company in the Zhejiang Province of China.

The CONTIROD line will be in a new plant in the

nomical shipment sizes to minimize freight cost and scalable production capacity to adjust to a customer’s ever changing demand. New product and product improvement initiatives will increase the total value proposition and provide the customer with measurable benefits. WJI: Do any of your customers ask about how “green” your reels Vince Reidy are? Reidy: Many customers are interested in “green” solutions, either in the form of product materials that are recyclable or cost effective return/reuse programs. Many of P&R’s products can be recycled and additionally, P&R works with customers to understand their total needs and develops tailor made solutions to meet their needs. WJI: To what degree are plastic reels expanding their footprint in the industry? Reidy: We see plastic reels/spools growing rapidly in all phases of the wire industry, and our market information indicates it will continue to grow.

SKET reported an order for its stranders from Turkey.

A report on china.org.cn, among others, said that it will levy duties for the first time in the steel industry of 3.03% to 25.2% on products from the three countries. The decision, the article said, came after the ministry of international trade and industry completed an investigation launched last June into complaints by a domestic producer that steel wire rod imports from the three countries and Turkey, sold at a much lower price, were hurting the domestic industry. The report said that China’s Jiangsu Shagang International Trade Co. Ltd., and Jiangsu Yonggang Group Co. Ltd., and Indonesia’s PT Ispat Indo are exempted from the duty. It also noted that the government “freed Turkish manufacturers of anti-dumping duties after it found imports from Turkey have a dumping margin of below 2%.”

Bin Hai Industrial Zone near Yuyao. The high-performance wire rod line can produce 225,000 t of quality copper wire rod per year from cathodes, the release said. It noted that the CONTIROD line is designed for an output of 35 t per hour, “and will thus be one of the larger ones of its kind in China.” The system will have a gas control system on the shaft furnace for the melting of copper cathodes and a modular Hazelett twin-belt caster for a casting cross section of 90 mm x 70 mm, it said. The line, the release said, will operate with a highly flexible 12-stand rolling mill. “Due to the newly designed Lambda gas control system and the usage of variable-frequency controlled drives for blowers and mill stands, this CONTIROD plant is, with fuel consumption figures of 300,000 kcal/t and 42 kWh/t, one of the most economical and ecological of its kind,” it said.

The facility has the capacity to test samples from ropes that will weigh hundreds of tons, assessing their strength under extreme loads, their endurance against bend fatigue, their rotational characteristics, and their response to repeated layering on smaller, more economical spools, the release said. It added that the centre also has the latest 3D microscope technology to examine ropes in minute detail, allowing for some of the most rigorous examinations ever conducted. The centre, it said, will further help Bridon’s ability to work with customers on selected technical projects. “Over the coming months, the company is expected to enter talks with major operators looking to optimize a rope for their equipment or application,” it said. “BTC will be a high-tech hub for next-generation rope development, where the finest minds in rope technology use sophisticated testing equipment to validate the designs of the largest and most complex ropes ever made,” said Bridon Chief Executive Jon Templeman.

U.S.-based RVA LLC, a market research firm, predicts that direct investment in North American fiber to the home (FTTH) deployment will reach $4.7 billion annually by 2017. A press release said that the report, “North American Fiber to the Home and Advanced Broadband Review and Forecast to 2017,” tracks both FTTH Visit deployments and consumer demand for high-bandwidth services. It projects that the market will be worth $18 billion over the next five years, with operators seeing FTTH services revenues growing to $4 billion by 2017, almost half of the cumulative $9 billion North American service providers will see over the same five-year period. The report states that deployment growth will continue over the next five years despite the wrap-up of the ARRA broadband stimulus program, the evolution of the FCC’s Universal Service program to the Connect America Fund, and potential continuation of past economic uncertainties, the release said. Market expansion, it noted, will come via what an RVA press release described as “a diverse group of small to large providers” who will supplant Verizon as the primary market catalysts as the deployment focus shifts from overbuilds to greenfield applications over the fiveyear forecast period.

Japan’s NEC Corporation reports that it has signed “a multi-million dollar supply contract,” through its Taiwan subsidiary, NEC (Taiwan) Co., Ltd., with Chunghwa Telecom to supply a 510 km system that will link Taoyan (North Taiwan) with Matsu and Tainan (South Taiwan) with Kinmen through Penghu. A press release said that the project, the Taiwan Penghu Kinmen Matsu No. 3 (TPKM3) submarine cable system, requires a high-bandwidth, non-repeater optical submarine cable. The contract calls for NEC to supply optical submarine cables for non-repeater systems and conduct the ocean-lay work, it said. The system will help meet domestic demand for voice and internet connectivity. “We are honored to have been selected as the supplier of the TPKM3 Submarine Cable System and firmly believe that once completed, TPKM3 will contribute to the economies of Taiwan,” said Masayuki Yamato, president of NEC (Taiwan). “We thank Chunghwa Telecom for their trust and support and look forward to completing this landmark project.” “Following the success on TPKM2 in September 2000, NEC is pleased to yet again take part in this prestigious project,” said Dr. Yasuhiro Aoki, general manager, Submarine Network Division, NEC.

Cuba’s 1st submarine fiber optic cable is said to be in operation TeleGeography reports that state-owned telecoms operator Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba (ETECSA) has confirmed that internet traffic is being carried by the island’s first submarine fiber-optic cable. Citing an article published in Granma, a Cuban newspaper, the telecoms monopoly said that the Alternativa Bolivariana para los Pueblos de nuestra America (ALBA-1) cable, which connects Cuba to Venezuela, “has been carrying international voice traffic since August 2012, while data traffic tests have been carried out on the cable since January 10, 2013.” ETECSA noted that when the testing process is completed, the cable launch will not automatically mean that the possibility of access will increase as further investment in the domestic telecoms infrastructure is required. Further, it said, even then the goal is “gradual growth of a service that we offer mostly for free and with social aims in mind.” The story said that historically, Cuba has had to access the internet via expensive and slow satellite connections, but 16 | WIRE JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL

IBIS: China’s wire and cable market remains strong, led by power cable A market research report from IBISWorld, Wire and Cable Manufacturing in China, notes that over the five years to 2012, China’s wire and cable manufacturing industry has grown at an annualized rate of 18.9% to $203.8 billion, due to strong domestic demand and high economic growth across China. That strong showing has been led by the electricity and power sector, which consumes about 45% of the wires and cables manufactured each year, a press release said. It noted that strong growth in the construction and equipment manufacturing sectors have created high demand for industry products. ACMR-IBISWorld forecasts that in the five years through 2017, total revenue of the wire and cable manufacturing industry in China will increase strongly, the release said. Growth will be supported by the recovery in overseas markets and rising domestic demand due to the construction of integrated networks and China’s smart power grid, it said. Even China was affected by the weak economy the last few years but has show much resilience, the release said. “In 2009, the global recession caused revenue growth to slow, largely due to a 26.4% fall in foreign demand. However, the recovering global economy led to a rebound in the industry in the following years,” it said. The release noted the following about the domestic Chinese wire and cable industry. Industry activity is concentrated in Jiangsu, Guangdong and Shandong in terms of industry revenue, estimated for 2012 to be 30%, 11.1% and 8.9%, respectively. These three provinces are expected to make up 50% of industry revenue in 2012. The industry shows higher efficiency in Jiangsu and Shandong, where employment is expected to account for 22.4% and 6.7% of the industry’s total in 2012. This is because the industry’s firms in these provinces are able to benefit from economies of scale and advanced technology, are close to imported raw materials, are closer to clients and downstream industries, and have invested heavily in technology to reduce labor inputs. The release also said that country’s wire and cable manufacturing industry has a large number of small and medium-size enterprises serving distinct geographical regions, the report said. The top four firms–Far East Holdings, Wanda Group, Wuxi Jiangnan Cable and Baosheng Group–accounted for about 7.7% of industry revenue in 2012, it said, adding that the low industry concentration level also reflects the diverse nature of the industry’s products. Firms tend to focus on particular wire and cable products or markets, it said.

ASIAN FOCUS China sees growth, challenges and better prospects for its wind capacity In 2012, China once again was the world leader for the global wind market in terms of annual installed capacity— the fourth year in a row that it has topped U.S. deployment—but China is not immune to the challenges that face many other countries although the outlook has brightened in recent months. A report in greenprospectsasia.com, citing Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), said that the country installed 15.9 GW of onshore turbines, or more than a third of all new 2012 capacity worldwide. China now has 61 GW of cumulative grid-connected wind energy capacity, 5.3% of the country’s total nameplate, and generates 2% of its total electricity, it said, noting that wind energy has become China’s third largest energy source behind coal and hydropower. A report by GTM Research (GTM) and Azure International puts those numbers into context. It said that China’s total new power generation additions from all sources last year exceeded 80 GW, more than the entire power generation capacity of Australia or Mexico. The other main sources of new capacity were as follows: thermal 50.7 GW, hydro 15.5 GW, nuclear 0.7 GW, and solar 1.2 GW. “For the Chinese wind industry as a whole, 2012 appears to be another year combining elements of the best of times and the worst of times,” the article cited the quarterly assessment in GTM. On the plus side, China’s wind industry is on track for a cumulative 150 gigawatts of installed capacity by the end of 2015, a number “that would dramatically exceed the 100gigawatt 2015 target set by China’s 12th Five-Year Plan in 2011.” However, the wind sector in China faces “immense challenges...from ongoing problems with grid connection, ever-growing amounts of curtailed wind generation, new restrictions from State Grid on who can connect, and, perhaps most importantly, uncertainty about whether policymakers will do as they have done in the past to ensure the sector continues its rapid growth.” GTM-Azure’s most recent report (Feb. 15) of China Wind Market Quarterly finds that the outlook seems to have improved. “The final month of 2012 and first weeks of 2013 brought a flurry of government announcements with major near-term implications,” it said. “In December, the government took steps to resolve financing issues in the sector by redistributing surcharge revenues and pre-appropriating funds for 2013. And in January two separate announcements raised targets for wind and solar installations in 2013, setting an overall target of 49 gigawatts of renewable capacity additions in 2013, of which 18 gigawatts will be wind.”

The government, the quarterly reported, “appears to be back in the game of promoting the domestic renewable energy market, with government policy in China beginning to act as a counterweight to foreign forces that have hurt the wind and solar sectors.” The report suggests that more positive announcements are expected, with one focus being financing, a topic that covers other renewable energy, such as solar. “How will all the new solar be financed, given the problems distributing renewable surcharges? Most likely, the state banking sector will play a major role, and this could bring new cash to the balance sheets of Chinese wind firms—which would in turn filter down to OEMs and component suppliers.”

China’s wind-energy market may continue its brisk path.

China’s biggest turbine manufacturers saw a big drop in 2012 revenues as annual installations were down 18% from 2011, and many projects were delayed due to grid connection issues, leaving many companies in the supply chain suffering from late payments and subsidies, the BNEF report said. However, the industry has continued to be the world leader for on-shore turbine deployment since it first passed the U.S. in 2009. The U.S., which had record installations of 13.2 GW last year, installed 14% fewer turbines than China, it noted. During 2012, per BNEF, new financial investment in wind in China fell 12% to US$27.2 billion. However, because of lower wind energy costs, the same dollar invested in 2012 was able to finance 10% more megawatts than that same dollar in 2011. At the same time, it noted, 15 GW, a full 20% of China’s wind capacity, remains unconnected to the grid. Capacity factors, a measurement of system efficiency, fell slightly in China in 2012 to 21.6%, according to figures from the State Electricity Regulatory Commission, one of the lowest rates in the world.

massive scale and momentum of the industry in this country.” BNEF forecasts 16.6 GW of installations in China in 2013 and 17-18 GW in both 2014 and 2015. At these rates, the industry would achieve the government’s end-2015 target of 100 GW of grid-connected capacity more than a year early, it reported. China Wind Market Quarterly, a collaboration between Azure International, Beijing, China, and GTM Research, pairs detailed market data with on-the-ground insights and forecasts to deliver a quarterly market report that covers the China wind market’s supply and value chains. Some of the questions answered in the 2012 fourth quarter report include: • Are 2013 installation plans on track to meet the government’s new wind targets? • How much will China’s wind installed capacity increase in the next three years? • Which new policy developments will change the China wind market in the near future?

an average capacity factor of around 30%, meaning that one megawatt of wind installed in China produces 70% of the amount of energy the same megawatt of wind would produce if installed in the U.S. Offsetting this, Chinese turbine prices are around 40% lower than the BNEF Wind Turbine Price Index of international turbine prices.” China’s leading wind turbine suppliers last year were all homegrown: Goldwind (2.8 GW, 19% market share), Guodian United Power (1.9 GW, 13%) and Sinovel (1.5 GW, 10%). This ranking is unchanged from 2011, when Goldwind and Guodian United Power displaced Sinovel from its top spot. The top three developers of wind projects were also large domestic companies: Longyuan Power Group (1.7 GW), Huaneng Renewable (810 MW) and Datang Renewable (800 MW). In terms of where the new wind projects were built, Inner Mongolia continued its lead in 2012 with 1.7 GW of new capacity, followed by Shandong (1.4 GW) and Hebei (1.1 GW) provinces. “2012 was a good year for the Chinese wind industry, considering how tough the environment was,” said Demi Zhu, China wind analyst at BNEF. “The fact that China wind overtook nuclear as a generation source even in its most challenging year of recent times is a testament to the

Ambitious plans by the E.U. for a major push for broadband were undercut by a Feb. 8 announcement that infrastructure investment plans of €50 billion over seven years were slashed to €24 billion, with the amount targeted for broadband cut from €9 billion to €1 billion, an action that was strongly criticized by fiber supporters. “It is clear that there can be no support for broadband with a pot of only €1 billion, so this funding will be exclusively for digital services,” said Neelie Kroes, the European Commissioner for Digital Agenda, speaking at a Feb. 19 FTTH workshop in the U.K. In multiple published reports, she said that the EU’s targets of 30Mbps broadband for all citizens by 2020 would be harder to reach. “Our 2020 fast broadband targets, agreed by everybody, may be harder to reach but I am not giving up on them. I will keep fighting, and I will support innovations that help rollout fast broadband to underserved areas.” The reports said that the government had sought to bring high-speed connections to 90% of properties in Britain by 2015, and that on-going efforts are in jeopardy. Some countries need to spend money this year that had previously been allocated by Brussels for this investment, or risk losing it. Another issue discussed in the articles related to the challenges of deployment, which several articles described as being a “patchwork approach.” While U.K.’s local authorities see FTTH as a key to economic development, FTTH coverage remains patchy, “pushing a number of local authorities to take matters into their own hands.” Leeds, which has a population of 750,000, and 404,000 jobs, of which 19% are knowledge based, is at the heart of a scheme to extend superfast coverage to up to 90% of the whole of West Yorkshire, one story noted. “(We will continue our) efforts to create awareness for the importance of fibre access networks in Europe,” said Karin Ahl, president of the FTTH Council Europe. “The European Union has just missed an important chance to make the right decision, not only for the years to come but also, and more importantly, for the future of a competitive Europe.”

... but France is going ahead Little more than a week and a half after the EU vote to slash funding to support broadband networks across the continent, French President François Hollande outlined a program that will see €20 billion spent over the next 10 years to install new broadband networks, potentially including FTTH or fiber to the cabinet (FTTC) – in the country. “High-speed broadband will strengthen the competitiveness of our companies and the quality of our public services,” President Hollande said in a speech announcing the plan, according to Reuters. “It is an opportunity to preserve and develop employment.”

SPOTLIGHT This section introduces a new WAI member each issue.

Andy Gehrisch Operations Manager Pelican Wire Company, Inc. USA

Q: What does your company do? A: Pelican is primarily a fine wire insulator of specialty alloys. We excel at resistance and thermocouple alloys down to 50 awg, with some constructions as large as 2 awg. Q: What is your role there? A: At Pelican Wire, my “hat” changes hour by hour. I’m primarily tasked with equipment and facilities, inventory, maintenance, purchasing and production control. However, in a small employee owned business like ours, sweeping floors isn’t outside the realm of possibility. Q: What do you like best about your position? A: I enjoy being part of team of professionals both from the wire industry as well as outside it. Everyone has a perspective and is encouraged to express their opinions. We all take our ownership stake in the company seriously and try to improve every day. Q: How has the industry most changed? A: Our customers are pushing us for smaller and smaller constructions. Between material cost savings and space reductions, smaller designs have been the trend for several years. Thankfully, smaller constructions play into our experience and expertise. So far, we are positioned well to continue to serve customers with that need. Q: How does your company remain competitive? A: I believe our competitive advantage is twofold. First, we have a deep talent pool from which to draw on when specialty designs come up. Second, we have no fear in attempting things other companies have not been able to accomplish. That doesn’t mean we’re always able to achieve the desired results, but a lot more often than not, we’re able to meet or exceed our customer’s requirements. Q: Why did you recently join WAI? A: I’m aware of the membership benefits that WAI offers. It is a source of technical and operational information as well as a good venue for establishing new relationships at events and for keeping up with industry news.

Horace Pops webinar on nonferrous rod and wire draws 64 attendees “An Overview of Nonferrous Rod and Wire Technology,” a Feb. 13 seminar by industry veteran Horace Pops, Horace Pops Consulting, traced the evolution of the wire and rod production from the earliest days to specific technical challenges. A total of 64 people from dozens of companies attended the webinar, which covered both technical aspects and challenges, from rod-cleaning methods and changing specifications to use of alloys and a comparison of copper and aluminum wire. Pops, who has presented many award winning technical papers over the years, addressed questions including: Is FRHC rod addressed by ASTM standards? How often does the wiredrawing solution need to be changed? How often do the wiredrawing machines have to be PM? What is the ideal wiredrawing temperature for copper? What material dies do you recommend for copper wiredrawing? Does magnesium readily dissolve in aluminum? Do rolling parameters need to be controlled when rolling high magnesium alloys such as 5154? What is aging as it relates to aluminum rod? Are there any additives that can increase conductivity of Al 1350? Does elongation have an effect over resistivity?

An image from the Feb. 23 webinar by Horace Pops. The webinars are free for WAI members and $55 for nonmembers, but members also get free access to the online archives of past webinars, such as this past one, where one can hear Pops’s replies to the cited questions.

PREVIEW

All roads in Atlanta (at least those named Peachtree Street) will lead to the Georgia World Congress Center for Interwire 2013.

Atlanta: the stage is set for activity Attendees will have plenty to do at Interwire 2013 at Building A in the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Between the show floor that will feature the collective technology and services offered by some 400 exhibiting companies, and the educational programs that once again have largely been designed and prepared by wire and cable manufacturers, the setting is one that will be both informative and practical. Overall, the wire and cable industry has not had an easy time of it the last few years, but the electrical sector has largely fared well, and this may be a good time to discuss long-delayed and new projects. And

Atlanta being Atlanta, beyond the business end there will be plenty of destinations to pursue for meeting up with colleagues and friends to enjoy the many fine attractions, from restaurants to live music. As of press time, the show floor was 99+% sold out, with more than 50 exhibiting companies to be represented for the first time. There are pavilions for groups from Italy and Austria, and while there is not an official Chinese pavilion, Interwire 2013 will have by far the largest ever showing of Chinese companies. The educational programs will include Fundamentals of

The technical program at Interwire will feature both tech specific and broad topic presentations.

The JoeTools booth was in high gear at Interwire 2011.

FEATURE

Wire Manufacturing on Monday, April 22, and the full Interwire program kicks in high gear on Tuesday, April 23, when the exhibits are open from 10 am to 5 pm. There will also be the first two (“Lean” and “Hiring”) of three panel discussions followed by a luncheon featuring keynote speaker Hines Ward, a Pittsburgh Steeler great who has proved to be a standout on the gridiron and the dance floor, and will share his thoughts on what it takes to be champion. That afternoon, the Mordica Lecture will be held, and it will be a bittersweet event as it honors the memory and genius of the late Thomas Tyl, whose son, Jeffrey, will present his father’s achievements in the field of steel wire. The official program will continue Tuesday night at the Omni Hotel Atrium, where the WAI will hold its annual reception, the Association’s singular most widely attended event. This is definitely the time to mingle and catch up on what is going on in the industry. On Wednesday, the exhibits and technical presentations will again be in full swing, and this will be a special day for WAI members as they can attend the first-ever WAI Member Rewards event. This 9 am member-only session will include a presentation by Jeff Justice, a self-proclaimed “Humor Resource Director,” as well as a slew of prizes that will be given out to members. And yes, you do have to be there to win. WAI’s new Life and 25-Year Members will also be recognized. Later that morning, the educational program will include a guest speaker discussing health care, and the third panel discussion (OSHA) will be held. The final day of exhibits runs from 10 am to 3 pm. There are also two tours that attendees can sign up for: Kia Motors at 1 pm on Monday, April 22, and Home Depot at noon on Thursday, April 25. If you did not sign up for the golf tournament on Monday, April 22, you could make up for it (or try for a daily double!) by taking part in the WAI’s 5K Industry Run at 7:30 am on Thursday, April 25. Behind the scenes there will be a series of WAI business meetings. And, as ever, the city of Atlanta awaits. The elements for a memorable and rewarding experience are all there.

event notes New & Noteworthy Thoughts on Interwire 2013 from the WAI Conference Planning Committee

WAI membership can (literally!) be very rewarding at Interwire 2013

On behalf of the Conference Programming Committee (see p. 42), it is my pleasure to invite you to this year’s Interwire event. In the initial planning stage, the committee agreed that the educational content must be relevant and it is from that clear vision we assembled the program. As you will see in the coming pages, we have a terrific range of topics, so many that we will be running sessions concurrently. There should be plenty of choices you will find of value. Please check with your peers and direct reports about this program so that they too may also take advantage of this opportunity. I know from experience that the exhibit and networking components are reason enough to get you out of the operation. This year the challenge will be taking advantage of the complete opportunity. Good luck!

Let’s see. Another meeting with a speaker. But wait...if you show up at this one at 9 am on Wednesday, April 24, you have a very good chance of walking away with a memorable prize. And the speaker? Why, Jeff Justice holds the esteemed self-proclaimed title of Humor Resources Director. This is not going to be your typical event. Welcome to the WAI’s first-ever Members Rewards, sponsored by Lloyd & Bouvier. As you might guess, this is a WAI members-only event, but if you sign up at the show on Monday or Jeff Justice Tuesday, you too can partake of this membership perk. See p. 60.

Bill Avise Co-chairman Conference Programming Committee

And this event is sponsored by ... The 2013 staging of Interwire has an impressive roster of corporate sponsors. The WAI would like to thank these companies for making it possible to put on quality programs. The sponsors for 2013 include: Platinum Level: Sonoco; Gold Level: Continuus-Properzi S.p.A and ExxonMobil Chemical; Silver Level: BASF Polyamide and Intermediates, Carris Reels, Inc.; Chemson, Inc.; Gem Gravure Co., Inc., SIKORA International, Inc., Tenold Transportation, Wire & Plastic Machinery Corp.; and Bronze Level: Lloyd & Bouvier, Inc., RichardsApex, Inc., and Standridge Color Corp. See p. 33.

3 days of tech papers + speakers + panel discussions = much value The WAI’s conference sessions this year will include some three dozen presentations (see pp. 73-79) from Tuesday, April 23, through Thursday, April 25. There are also three panel discussions (see p. 71) and two guest speakers (see p. 73). Collectively, the elements offer useful tech information and observations that directly and indirectly relate to the shop floor.

WAI returns to the Omni Hotel Atrium for its April 23 reception WAI’s return to Atlanta will see its always popular reception returning to the site of the 2011 (and 2003) reception: the Omni Hotel Atrium. The key attraction of

The fundamentals always matter The Fundamentals of Wire Manufacturing course at Interwire will present five courses from 9 am to 5 pm on Monday, April 22, taught by industry experts that will focus on real-world applications and challenges. Topics include: Measurement and Controls; Fundamentals of Ferrous Metallurgy; Metallurgy and Technology of Electrical Conductors; Mechanics of Wiredrawing; and Wiredrawing Lubricant Technology. See p. 70.

the event—to be held from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, on Tuesday, April 23—is the opportunity to meet up with industry friends, customers, exhibitors, program presenters and more. Note: there will be no shuttle bus service.

A winner on the gridiron as well as the dance floor, NFL great Hines Ward, the 2006 MVP for Super Bowl XL, will be the keynote speaker during the luncheon event that will be held from noon to 1:30 pm on Tuesday, April 23. The Pittsburgh Steeler star receiver, who led a storied career and retired in 2011, will share lessons learned from his legendary rise to the top Hines Ward of his field, the National Football League. He will explain the “W.A.R.D.” Rule, which stands for “Will Always Rise above Difficulty,” and has been his mantra. The event is open to full Interwire registrants. See p. 56.

To those ‘behind-the-scenes’: Thanks! You may not know who they are, but the members of the WAI’s Conference Programming Committee (see p. 42) were essential in creating the Interwire 2013 experience. The WAI would like to thank these volunteers who were responsible for identifying desirable topics and program elements, providing speakers and authors and organizing the event schedule, all of which was no little task. Kudos to one and all!

Mordica Lecture to be bittersweet

Thomas W. Tyl

The Mordica Lecture will be presented by Jeff Tyl, the son of Thomas W. Tyl, who was posthumously honored as the winner of the WAI’s Mordica Memorial Award, which honors individuals for their technical contributions to the wire and cable industry. Tyl, the principal for Tire Wire Technology (TWT), LLC, was known for his industry knowledge, font of colorful stories and ready wit. The lecture will take place Tuesday, April 23, at 2 pm. See p. 62.

WAI call for runners The WAI’s 5K Industry Run will once again be held in Atlanta on Thursday, April 25, with runners of all calibers cordially invited.

tours On the road and at home Interwire attendees to be driven to (and by!) the Kia car plant experience Interwire attendees will have the opportunity on Monday, April 22, from 1 pm to 5 pm, to take part in a private tour of the state-of-the-art Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, Inc. (KMMG), which is the first manufacturing site in North America for Kia Motors Corporation based in Seoul, Korea.

Kia’s Sorento vehicle, built at the company’s U.S. plant. The company notes that in 2012, Kia once again toppled its previous year’s best-ever global sales record by delivering 2.72 million vehicles. It has also experienced dramatic brand improvement, joining the ranks of the world’s top 100 global brands according to Interbrand’s Top 100 Best Global Brands list. The KMMG plant is located on 2,200 acres in West Point, Georgia, and began mass production on Nov. 16, 2009. KMMG is home to the Sorento (pictured) and the Optima mid-size sedan, two of the brand’s top selling models, and has the ability to build 360,000 vehicles annually from U.S. and globally-sourced parts. The company has come a long way. Per Wikipedia, the word Kia derives from Korean words meaning “to arise to the world from Asia.” South Korea’s oldest car company, Kia was founded on June 9, 1944, as Kyungsung Precision Industry, a manufacturer of handmade steel tubing and bicycle parts. In 1951, the company began building complete bicycles, and the next year it changed to its current name, and it expanded its product lines to focus on transportation: starting with motorcycles in 1957, trucks in 1962 and cars in 1974. The company opened its first integrated automotive assembly plant in 1973, the Sohari Plant. In October 2006, Kia Motors America broke ground for Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia in West Point, Georgia, representing a $1 billion investment for the company. Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia opened in February 2010, after

Kia recorded its 15th consecutive year of increased U.S. market share. The tour, which is limited, will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Home Depot will show tour goers how the store gets the job done right Interwire attendees will have an opportunity on Thursday, April 25, from noon to 3:30 pm, to see how the logistics work for the world’s largest home improvement specialty retailer, which has stores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, 10 Canadian provinces, Mexico and China. Participants will get a behind-the-scenes tour of the Home Depot McDonough Stocking Distribution Center, a state-of-the-art center that services 150 Home Depot stores in the Southeast. The facility, which occupies some 1.3 million square feet, is located about 30 miles south of Atlanta. It is a far cry from its origin, which started off in 1979 with two stores, built in spaces leased from J.C. Penney that were originally Treasure Island “hypermarket” (discount department and grocery) stores that opened in metro Atlanta on June 21. At its website, Home Depot notes that the company today is the fourth largest retailer in the U.S. and the fifth largest retailer in the world. In 2011, Home Depot was ranked No. 35 on the Fortune 500 U.S. list. The company was founded in 1978 by Bernie Marcus, Arthur Blank, Ron Brill, and Pat Farrah. The Home Depot concept was to build the largest home-improvement warehouses in their sector. The company is well known by consumers, with multiple marketing efforts over the years. Per Wikipedia, “More saving. More doing,” was introduced by The Home Depot in 2009, replacing “You can do it. We can help,” which had been used since 2003. It has also been a good neighbor. Home Depot, which conducts free Kids Workshop clinics at its stores, notes that more than one million children have built their first toolbox at these workshops. The tour, which is limited, will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

member perks WAI Member Rewards/Annual Meeting The WAI will stage its first-ever Member Rewards event, from 9 am to 10 am on Wednesday, April 24, when the focus will be on saying thanks to WAI members. “WAI members are the bedrock of the association, and we thought it was fitting to have a special event that shows just how important they are,” said WAI Executive Director Steve Fetteroll. “Now, if every one of our 2,400 members showed up we’d be both thrilled and terrified as the room won’t hold that many people, but we’re hoping to see a really good showing. The idea is to have fun, have a few laughs and show our appreciation.” The event, sponsored by Lloyd & Bouvier, will include a raffle where WAI members who are present can win an assortment of prizes. There will also be an informative presentation by comedian Jeff Justice, “Laugh More, Stress Less and Avoid Getting Burned Out.” A self-proclaimed Humor Resources Director, Justice has spent the last decade applying his unique brand of work-appropriate humor as a professional speaker, humor-skills teacher and humor coach to positively impact human interaction in the workplace. Justice has shared his unique brand of “applied humor”

with Fortune 500 companies across the country, presenting a different approach to engaging employees, improving performance, and developing leaders. Justice has been featured over the years in a slew of articles in publications such as Time, Newsweek, Competitive Edge, The Daily News, TV Guide, Atlanta Journal Constitution, and Atlanta Business Jeff Justice Chronicle, among others. This member-only event, a great way to start the day, will also include a continental breakfast and a WAI briefing.

Tyl worked for The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in key technology positions from 1989 to 2003 before starting his consulting company, which provided expertise on saw wire, tire 72 | WIRE JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL

cord, bead wire, hose wire, music wire and conveyor belt reinforcement, and other steel wire products. He was the inventor of seven new technologies, with patents pending in the U.S. and other countries. Tyl held an M.S. degree in metallurgical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, an M.B.A. degree Thomas W. Tyl in manufacturing management from the University of Pittsburgh, and a B.S. degree in materials science from North Carolina State University. He also authored 18 well-regarded technical papers and articles in WJI. See p. 62.

Tuesday, April 23 Dies & Drawing Temperature 2:30-3:00 pm “Improved wire quality with advanced TCHP materials,” by Daniel J. Cunningham and John Keane, Allomet Corporation; and Roger Wright, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA. Improvements in strength/weight ratios have created many challenges due to the increasingly brittle nature of high-strength materials. The superior quality of wire drawn through TCHP dies is showing a decrease of up to 80% in wire rupture in secondary processing operations compared with wire drawn using conventional WC dies. This paper highlights the characteristics of wire drawn through these TCHP dies and also provides insight into the factors governing these improvements in wire quality. 3:00-3:30 pm “The influence of the geometry of conical dies on mechanical-technological properties of high-carbon steel wires,” by Justyna Adamczyk, Maciej Suliga, and Jan W. Pilarczyk, Czestochowa University of Technology, Poland. This paper assesses the influence of the die approach and bearing on mechanical-technological properties of high-carbon steel wires. The process of drawing 2.9 mm wires to the final wire of 1.98 mm was conducted in five passes, by means of a multi-die drawing Koch machine. The drawing speeds in the final passes were 4 m/s. The investigation of mechanical-technological properties was conducted for wires drawn according to four variants, in which yield strength, tensile strength, uniform and total elongation, reduction of area, the number of twists and the number of bends were determined. 3:30-4:00 pm “Temperatures in the wiredrawing process: measurements and simulations,” by Joakim Larsson, Helena Johansson-Cider, and Magnus Jarl, Örebro University, Sweden. Temperatures are important in the wiredrawing process, and measurements are very tricky. Simulations show very high temperatures in the contact between wire and die. For this study, thermocouples were welded to the nibs, a very sensitive arrangement in a wiredrawing plant. This paper reports and analyzes measurements of nib temperatures and compares them with FEM simulations. The wire cooling on blocks was measured by pyrometers. These measurements are sensitive to the wire brightness especially for stainless wire.

4:00-4:30 pm Research of heat generation mechanism in wiredrawing with FEM analysis," by Ryuta Kawaguchi, Motoo Asakawa, Yohei Ohno, Takahiro Shirakawa, and Shinnya Kojima, Waseda University, Japan. Recently, higher quality of wires is in demand for cold forging wires. In order to improve products, it is necessary for the wire to maintain a low temperature. This research investigates the heat generation factor during drawing using FEM analysis to compare experimental drawing conditions. It presents results for a heating and cooling mechanism between the wire and the die during drawing and a method for suppressing rises in temperature.

Shaping & Straightening 2:30-3:00 pm “Processing technology of high dimensional accuracy shaped wiredrawing for spring wire,” by Kazunari Yoshida, Kenta Suga, and Keita Nakazima, Tokai University; and Kotaro Watanabe and Koji Umezu, Tama Spring Co. Ltd., Japan. Shaped wires, in preference to round wires, are often used for spring wires used in automobiles and machines to reduce weight and to improve strength. It is not easy to obtain a high dimensional accuracy shaped wire by drawing. In this study, two-pass shaped wire drawings of spring steel wire were carried out by using a middle die and a finish die to clarify the conditions for making a high dimensional accuracy shaped wire. 3:00-3:30 pm “New straightening method using rotational blade and tension annealing for fine wires,” by Kazuki Tsurumi, Motoo Asakawa, Natsuki Kato, and Kota Sakumoto, Waseda University, Japan. Recently, higher straightness has become widely used for development of medical and electronic devices. Rotational blade straightening is commonly used to three-dimensionally straighten fine wires. In the current method, two blades are used for bending and counter bending a wire. In a new method examined in this paper, intentional twisting is applied for straightening, instead of the current bending method for stainless steel wires. Furthermore, it was revealed by this work that straightness is greatly improved by tension annealing after straightening. 3:30-4:00 pm “Roll bending technologies for high-accuracy compression ring of automobile engine,” by Yuma Watanabe, Motoo Asakawa, and Hiroshi Iwanaga, Waseda University, Japan.

Presentation: Health Care Reform 10 am-11 am Lisa Evans, Director of Health Care, Southwire, Co., USA With the uncertainty of the presidential election in the past, the path to implementation of health care reform in the United States is becoming clearer. Lisa Evans, Director of Health Care at Southwire Co., has been following the issue closely. She shares her insight for what the following four key health care provisions could mean for wire and cable companies: 1. an individual coverage mandate requiring coverage or else imposing a tax; 2. health exchanges making coverage available for all regardless of health or pre-existing conditions; 3. a pay or play mandate making employers pay a penalty if coverage is not adequate or affordable; and 4. an excise tax in 2018 on plans valued above a certain dollar amount.

microalloyed steels, and maximum strengthening was observed in the V+N steel. The V+Nb steel was found to have the greatest refinement of colony size and ILS, and subsequently higher hardness among the test alloys. 2:30-3:00 pm “Properties of high-carbon steel wires drawn at extremely slow speed,” by Yoshiro Yamada, Yamada Research & Consulting, Japan. Tensile strength at levels 200 to 500 MPa higher than that of JIS piano wire was attained without sacrificing ductility by repeatedly drawing high-carbon steel wires at a speed of 0.05 meters/min. These high strength levels were reached by continuous dry drawing at ordinary speeds when the Kobe direct water cooling system was applied. This paper investigates this process, as well as the strain aging phenomena of drawn high-carbon steel wires with lamellar and spheroidal pearlite structures.

Presentation: OSHA Preparation and Partnership 1:00 pm-2:00 pm Teresa Harrington, Occupational Safety and Health Administration Region IV, USA Preparing for an OSHA inspection and implementing proactive programs are critical components of the relationship between OSHA and industry.

3:00-3:30 pm “The comparison analysis of mechanical properties wires from TRIP steel with different carbon content,” by Sylwia Wiewiórowska, Zbigniew Muskalski, and Jan W. Pilarczyk, Czestochowa University of Technology, Poland. This paper shows a comparison analysis of mechanical properties of TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) effect steel wires with different carbon content, classified into a group of AHSS (Advanced High-Strength Steel) steels, which are the multiphase steels offering a unique combination of high strength and ductility. This combination is achieved through the transformation of retained austenite to martensite in the TRIP deformation process. The decrease of carbon content influences the amount of retained austenite in the steel structure and consequently the mechanical properties of the drawn wire. 3:30-4:00 pm “The state of the art of saw wire process technology,” by Wolfgang Weidenhaupt, Metcore Stahltechnik

GmbH, Germany. Saw wire is mainly used for cutting polycrystalline silicon ingots into wafers which are applied in photovoltaic panels. A strong growing market requires the highest demands of saw wire technology. Diameters between 0,06 and 0,12 mm and tensile strength in the range of 4.000 to 5.000 N/mm² belongs to the group of high-carbon wires. The product requires a super clean steel, a consistent patenting and brass plating technology, and a special fine wire drawing process.

Nonferrous 2:00-2:30 pm “Optimization of extrusion and wiredrawing of magnesium alloys using the finite element method and distributed computing,” by Andriej Milenin and Piotr Kustra, AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland. This paper is devoted to the production of thin wire of special alloys of magnesium containing calcium supplements (MgCa08, Ax30). It proposes a process model for extrusion and drawing based on a modified finite element method that takes into account the processes of fracture and allowing the use of distributed computing and clusters of computers. Due to extremely low technological plasticity of these alloys during metal forming, the narrow range of allowable parameters for extrusion and drawing does not lead to the fracture of the wire during deformation. The resulting wire contained no fracture and had high mechanical properties. 2:30-3:00 pm “Technology production and properties of highstrength and high-conductivity nanostructured copper-silver wires for new type overhead line conductors,” by Artur Kawecki, Tadeusz Knych, Eliza SiejaSmaga, Andrzej Mamala, Paweł Kwaśśniewski, Grzegorz Kiesiewicz, and Beata Smyrak, AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland. This paper presents research results of manufacturing composite filamentary nanostructure Cu-Ag alloys with 6% wt. silver addition. A suitable quantity and process sequence of high deformation plastic working and heat treatment type solubility-precipitate allows for wires made from Cu/Ag fibers with nanometric cross-dimensions and provide high mechanical strength, high electrical conductivity, and sufficient ductility of Cu-Ag alloys.

3:00-3:30 pm “Improvement of ductility of aluminum drawn wire by alternate drawing,” by Kazunari Yoshida and Kota Doi, Tokai University, Japan. This paper proposes “alternate drawing” for high ductility as a production method of aluminum wire for an automotive wiring harness. Alternate drawing promises to decrease the additional shearing strain by alternating the drawing direction of every one pass or several passes. To confirm its usefulness, a comparison of the ductility between alternately drawn wires and unidirectionally drawn wires was made through the results of tensile testing and texture analysis. 3:30-4:00 pm “New precious metals-based rhenium-containing materials for catalysis produced by powder metallurgy techniques,” by Ludwik Ciura, Wiesław Kazana, and Mieczysław Woch, Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals; and Maciej Gierej, Wojciech Motel, and Zbigniew Laskowski, Mennica Precious Metals, Poland. This paper presents the results of research and tests with fabrication of microwires from the platinum alloys with an addition of Rh, Pd, and Re, obtained by powder metallurgy methods.

sion control systems, concluding with current process control technologies and future trends. It details the possibilities that exist today to make the best use of slip rings or radio transmission to enable wire tension and auxiliary data communication between the rotating sections of the machine and the stationary control center. As strand tension is very important in wire and cable production, the paper highlights the potential for quality improvement, production rate increase, and scrap reduction. 3:00-3:30 pm “Energy savings for dust collection,” by Kelly Zipsie, GE Energy Air Filtration, USA. This presentation outlines methods that contribute to reducing energy consumption on a dust collection system to support energy-saving initiatives. It examines: 1. the most common opportunities for excessive energy consumption in dust collection systems, 2. basic assumptions and establishment of baseline information for energy cost, compressed air savings, and how static pressure impacts overall operating cost, and 3. a generic case study to illustrate potential impact. 3:30-4:00 pm “The potential for combustible dust issues in the wiredrawing industry,” by Alvin Lian, Ian Sidders, and Jean Reid, Blachford Corp., Canada, and David Gzesh, Blachford Corp., USA. In the last few years, the chemical and manufacturing industry has come under closer government scrutiny due to the issue of combustible dust explosions resulting in the loss of life in the workplace. Although none of these events has been associated with the wire industry, the wiredrawing producers and their dry powder lubricant suppliers have become more aware of the importance of understanding and controlling dust when handling or using these products. A review of the physical properties and the formation mechanism of combustible dust will be presented along with suggestions on minimizing dust accumulations to comply with new workplace regulations.

Thursday, April 25 Acid Recovery 10:00-10:30 am “Success recycling with acid recovery,” by Chuck Amori, Crown Technology Inc./Acid Recovery Systems Inc., USA. With acid recovery systems in place, two Leggett & Platt facilities keep acid costs below 30 cents per ton of steel pickled. By running a continuous recovery system, the bath solutions contain lower iron levels and therefore less residue on the surface of the wire to allow a more uniform coating for good drawing. This presentation

details systems that not only recover all the acid that would be lost to hauling or neutralization, but also produce a moist, usable iron sulfate. The system offers savings in raw acid and revenue from re-selling Ferrous Sulfate Heptahydrate. 10:30-11:00 am “Optimized wire pickling management,” by Kevin Wolff, Scanacon Inc., USA. To achieve an optimized pickling process, control of free acid concentration, dissolved metal concentration, circulation, temperature, suspended solids, and secondary waste handling need to operate cohesively in a "total system" approach. Designing a comprehensive management strategy for a pickling line needs to address the key variables in a cost effective, maintenance and operational friendly manner. Mid South Wire Co. is a case where implementing this approach has resulted in increased productivity, reduced acid consumption, lower waste generation, and improved product quality over previous practice. 11:00-11:30 am “Economic and chemical comparisons of hydrochloric acid recovery technologies for pickling operations,” by Jared Cullivan and Bryan Cullivan, Beta Control Systems Inc., USA.

Nonferrrous Efficiency 10:00 -10:30 am “Modernization opportunities for today’s aluminum mills,” by David Gow, Siemens Industry Inc., USA. Close to half of today’s aluminum mills are more than 20 years old. A number of modernization steps offer ways to extend mill life and reduce maintenance costs, improve reliability, increase production, and reduce product defects. This paper discusses several new technologies that offer opportunities to make incremental improvements that deliver significant savings. In particular, it discusses developments in dual reel coiler technology from Siemens VAI. To obtain realistic solutions using the Finite Element Method, precise knowledge of the mechanical behavior of the wires is required. Increasing drawing speed in modern processing results in high strain rates. However, the mechanical behavior of the wires is described only by means of static tensile tests, far from the actual drawing conditions. Static and dynamic tests were performed on prestressing steel wires to study the influence of strain rate on the mechanical response of wires during drawing. Noon-12:30 pm “Modeling centerline damage with DEFORM®,” by Christian Regalado and Roger N. Wright, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA. The DEFORM® metalworking modeling system can be applied to the development of centerline damage, by way of the Cockcroft and Latham workability criterion, and this paper summarizes such recent work at Rensselaer. Near-centerline flow in the absence and presence of an inclusion has been modeled, and comparisons have been made to Cockcroft and Latham projections from tensile testing. Beyond this, shear strain modeling has been undertaken for shear strains at the “equator” of spherical inclusions and for chevron-shaped shear strain fields. 12:30-1:00 pm “Validation of your high-value wire and rope products on material fatigue with state-of-the-art bend-rotation and bend-over-sheave test equipment,” by Philippe van Bogaert, Bogimac Engineering NV, Belgium. Some defects that are important reasons for fatigue failure do not influence static testing substantially. Applied metallurgy and drawing work may greatly improve the static strength of wire, but reduce the material fatigue life because of residual stresses, lack of resilience, and increased brittleness. This paper presents specifics on the use of modern fatigue testing equipment for the wire and rope industry, as well as for related manufacturing, including tires. It also reviews the specific statistical methods to handle the results in case of multi-modal distributions, typical for high-fatigue and life-cycle testing.

10:30-11:00 am “Energy-efficient pulling and winding,” by Juan Carlos González Villar, Kabel.Consult.Ing, Germany. Winders demonstrate that ambitious power reduction goals are within reach, particularly for the wire and cable industry. Anyone who takes a closer look at the operating instructions will notice that the ratio of net power requirement to installed power is very small, a condition known as a power “mismatch.” Depending on spool diameter, rotational speed, and pulling force, wire and cable manufacturers have until now been forced to pay out (every year) a lot of money for unnecessary power consumption. 11:00 -11:30 am “Aluminum wiredrawing lubricants and converting a lubricant system from copper to aluminum,” by Troy Carr, Etna-Bechem Lubricants Ltd., USA. This paper describes the various types of aluminum wiredrawing lubricants including conventional straight-oil type products and water-soluble type products that are gaining in popularity in aluminum drawing. The volatility of copper pricing in recent years has stirred debate in the industry about copper vs. aluminum. This paper discusses the best practice methods and key process items for converting a lubricant system from copper to aluminum. This

INTERWIRE PRODUCTS PRODUCTS AESA Cortaillod At Booth 120 at Interwire, AESA Cortaillod will present a system for testing industrial cables as well as a cable management system. AESA Cortaillod has developed SemaCare, which combines in one sole system several automatic measurements, including LF parameters (R=Kelvin), HF parameters already from 1kHz by points or swap and additional tests, such as validation of a cable on the field or location of a default. SemaCare, which helps to handle short or rigid cable ends, support large wire diameters and manage intermixed compositions (single, pairs, triads, quads), is modular, and can test up to 128 conductors at once. It is driven by OptiTest, our application interfaced with our complete Cable Management System, CIQ3.0. It is essential to have software to efficiently manage the business, but the tools available on the markets are general or incomplete. That need is met by CIQ3.0, a specific data management system for the cable industry that allows the capture of product data at quality stations as well as process data directly on the production lines. Data are stored in one centralized database that allows traceability, evaluations, complete reporting and exportation to the ERP. Stop by our booth for more details on either innovation. Contact: AESA Cortaillod, aesa@aesa-cortaillod.com, www.aesa-cortaillod.com.

B&H Tool Company At Booth 1916, B&H Tool Company, a leader in extrusion tooling technology, will showcase the industry’s lowest volume micro-crosshead. The model BH25A MicroCrosshead with spiral deflector delivers breakthrough microextrusion performance for microbore tubing, fiber optics, and insulated fine wire. It was tested by major medical device manufacturers that documented major improvements in process capability and stability. The BH25A extrudes PEEK tubing with a product ID of .010 in. and OD of .015 in, and FEP insulated fine wire with an OD of .00471 in. and core OD of .00157 in. Tolerances are heavily dependent on the process and material, but are generally in the range of +.0005 in.

Customers who tested the system achieved exceptional ID/OD control, superior melt flow, highly uniform material distribution, and short residence time. This produced extraordinary concentricity and finished surface quality. Contact: Peter Neville, B&H Tool Company, pneville@bhtool.com, tel. 800-272-8878, www.bhtool.com.

Beta LaserMike At Interwire 2013, Beta LaserMike will showcase two systems: a three-axis lump and neckdown detector and a bench-top LAN cable table testing system at Booth 631. The new three-axis LN3015 Detector (pictured) is an advanced, compact system that provides more precise detection of lump and neckdowns in the product diameter than two-axis systems. The three-axis scanning system offers a higher degree of coverage around the product’s circumference to instantly detect sudden changes in the surface. The LN3015 accommodates product diameters to 15 mm (.59 in) and detects flaw height down to 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.) at line speeds up to 3000 m/min (9842 ft/min). The DCM Model SCS-350B LAN cable table testing system is an ideal bench-top test solution for compliance testing of high-performance, shielded and unshielded, twisted-pair Cat5/5e/6/6a cables up to 600 MHz. The IDC test heads provide an easy means for connecting Cat cables under test to the test system, minimizing external influences and providing proper isolation. The SCS-350B base unit includes the automatic switching and baluns needed to interface the cable under test to an external vector network analyzer (VNA).

Candor Sweden AB At Interwire, Candor Sweden AB staff will be ready to discuss the advantages of new design developments to the company’s cleaning and plating technology for ferrous and nonferrous materials. Stop by Booth 124 for more specific details on the following. Candor has achieved new design advances in its CAN-

Dynamex Corporation U.S.-based Dynamex Corporation will display at Booth 2124 a new non-driven tape payoff, a two-position tape payoff that runs both flat and traversed pads. The machine was designed to run with cablers, and achieves optimized in-line taping when used with the TRU3-X “Dial-In-Angle” roller unit. This simple device redirects the tape coming from the payoff to the wire-line, and delivers the tape to the twisting cable at the optimal angle. The angle can be preset correctly for each product without trial-and-error, and the setting can be easily repeated. Even though the primary purpose was for inline taping with cablers, it has been used successfully on low-speed extrusion lines as well. The payoff is capable of a manual on-the-fly splicing at full line speed, which makes it possible to run on extrusion lines without inter-

ruption due to running out of tape. It will also display the auto-splicing version, TPX-30-3, for use with high-speed extruders. Contact: Ben Bravin, Dynamex Corporation, tel. 310329-0399, bbravin@dynamexcorp.com, www.dynamexcorp.com.

Ideal Welding Systems At Booth 1731, Ideal Welding Systems will demonstrate its IDEAL CSR102 CNC jig welder, the most advanced model the company has ever shown at Interwire. The CSR102 has an automated positioning and welding system that is suitable for resistance welding both sheet metal and wire components on the same machine. That makes it ideal for products such as wire fan guards, wire mesh baskets, sheet metal boxes and wire and sheet metal shelves. The CSR102 uses Medium Frequency Direct Current (MFDC) welding, which offers the highest quality resistance welding via precise control over the welding current and time while using less electricity. The displayed model will have six welding guns, each which can be fitted with a unique welding electrode. These welding guns can also be raised and lowered to the precise height required, by means of programmable servo motors, thus offering the welding of 3 D components or complex parts at different welding levels. The top heads have a stroke of 400 mm (15.7 in.), allowing the welding of deeper parts and added flexibility in navigating around obstacles and supports on your custom jigs. The programmable rotating heads allow for easy movement to the desired welding angle, while also being capable of performing a drilling operation. In addition to all the tools and features mentioned above, the CSR102 on display will be fitted with pincer welding head, making it possible to weld in the vertical plane, such as the welding of a rim wire to a wire mesh basket.

less steel cold heading wire. The special layered auburn colored coating was formulated to stay on the wire surface longer than other nonmetallic coatings during multi-die and multi-blow heading operations, and on long extruded parts. On many jobs customers have stated that it runs as well as copper coated stainless. But unlike the more expensive copper coat, the environmentally friendly E-Coat is much easier and less expensive to remove. Cold heading operators trying the product out for the first time are pleasantly surprised with the results. And they have also found it saves on tool life. The E-Coat can be applied to stainless grades 304, 304L, 30430 (302HQ), 430, and 410. Diameter range is from .057 in. up to .375 in.

Niehoff Maschinenfabrik GmbH At Booth 740 at Interwire, Niehoff will showcase three systems: a rotary braider, a multiwire drawing machine and a double-twist buncher. The 24-carrier lever arm rotary braiding machine, BMV 124 (pictured), a heavier version of the BMV 24 model, has a central passage of 55 mm and can carry spools with a weight of up to 5.5 kg. By means of integrated and optionally available quality assurance systems, BMV braiders can work for a long time unattended and without operator intervention. They can process round or flat wire of bare or coated copper, aluminum and stainless steel with a single-wire diameter from 0.05 to 0.3 mm as well as artificial yarn and fibers. The multiwire drawing machine MMH 121 can draw 16 wires with a final diameter of up to 0.20 mm (32 AWG). The wire can be processed to intermediate multiwire bundles so it is possible to directly fill one spool with seven wires to be stranded into a 19-wire construction. Spool handling is simplified and fewer payoff stations are needed, resulting in capital investment savings. Based on a modular principle, MMH machines an be adapted to each application and kind of nonferrous metal can be built. The D 1001 type single-bow double twist bunching machine is designed for the manufacture of strands of up to 50 mm² (1/0) cross section for copper and up to 60 mm² (3/0) cross section for aluminum conductors with a lay length of max. 300 mm (11.8”) and a maximum rotational speed of 3,200 twists/min. The D 1001 represents the result of an experience in designing productive and

OMCG North America/OMCG SpA At Interwire, OMCG North America will exhibit one of its CNC Mini wire forming machines (pictured) for wire and strip, featuring simple tooling and three to six bend radii capability plus generation for rings and large radii. The system can process wire sizes that can range from 1 mm to 6.5 mm with off-site diagnostic modem. Programming is easy using a standard Windows-based PC and the EZ program that writes the part program to form the part, draws part on screen, in 3D, simulates the forming on screen prior to production and estimates time to complete production. Design the part on CAD and down load the DXF file and EZ program will convert to the program and you can form the part. Another program method allows the part coordinates to be entered as length, bend angle and orientation of angle of the part; then the program creates the bending program that controls the machine production. For high production, OMCG offers a line of CNC slide-forming machines along with mechanical slide-forming machines that will allow some parts to be produced at 300 parts per minute. Optional units for welding, cold heading, chamfering, assembly, threading, coining, tube bending can be added. Contact: OMCG North America, tel. 630-5619512, omcgtech@netzero.net, www.omcg.com.

Teknor Apex Company At Interwire 2013, Teknor Apex will introduce two new compounds at Booth 406 for jacketing of industrial and heavy-duty cables that provide flexibility even at very low temperatures. Flexalloy® 9611-76 and 9612-75 compounds exhibit brittle points of -60ºC or lower and provide the oil resistance, flame retardance and wide range of operating temperatures required in such applications as control and instrumentation cables (Type CIC), tray cables (TC), and specialty power cords like those for charging electric vehicles. The new compounds have property profiles that compare well with those of the rubber, TPU and other high-performance TPEs used in these cables, yet they are more cost-effective, reports Mike Patel, industry manager for the company’s Vinyl Division. The proprietary formulations provide the elasticity and low-temperature toughness of TPEs, plus PVC benefits like flame retardancy. Typical Types CIC and TC uses are in the petrochemical, pulp and paper, steel, cement, and mining industries. “Cables for these applications are often large and can be difficult to handle—especially at low temperatures—if the jacket materials lack sufficient flexibility,” Patel said.

electrical welders, the welding parameters are preset by the machine. The operator simply loads the rod and presses a button to activate the welding process, using the userfriendly keypad which offers five language options. The resulting weld is reliable, permanent and stronger than the parent material and requires only minimal cleaning as the EP500 has an automatic deflashing system to remove the weld burr. The EP500 is durable and energy efficient and has no heavy sliding loads or fast moving parts, so it requires maintenance only every three years or so. Like all PWM’s cold welders, the EP500 is designed and built in-house by the company’s skilled engineers.
