WAI OPERATIONS SUMMIT & WIRE EXPO 2014

WELCOME President’s Message Welcome to the 2014 WAI Operations Summit & Wire Expo. After nearly a year of planning, involving the entire Association, it is great to be in the production stage. All of us can appreciate good planning and we know that the success of any project depends on the thoughtful preparation. The preparation is a necessity, but it is also deliberate, time consuming, and exhausting. However, the real thrill is when you commence operations. You want to see the results of your work and enjoy those moments when you see the effort provide a ROI. Well, that is not only the life of a wire and cable manufacturer, but also that of a WAI volunteer. There are some 50 volunteers that contribute to the success of the Operations Summit & Wire Expo event. They contribute their expertise in support of a 200-company exhibit and the two-day educational program. They have worked hard to ensure an ROI for all participants and also thought that we should have some fun at the Opening Reception at Lucas Oil Stadium. I am grateful to the team of volunteers including my fellow Board members for all of their thoughtful preparation and contributions that I believe have positioned this year’s show for success. I am also thankful for the tremendous support of our exhibitors, speakers, and sponsors; without their contributions, this event would not be the North American meeting place of the wire and cable industry.

The event, to start at 5:30 pm, combines three parts: the Member Rewards element, which is the Association’s way of thanking its members; the second element is honoring those who have made signiﬁcant contributions to the industry, which includes

the winners of the Mordica and Donnellan awards, paper awards; and the third element is the holding of the Association’s annual meeting. This three-in-one event promises to offer a good time in a memorable setting as well as a chance to recognize those that have contributed to the industry. See p. 23.

President’s Award: posthumous honor to go to Woodburn’s Terry Sieger

General Cable is offering a unique two-part tour of its compound plant in Indianapolis. The tour will include the facility, but comprehensive detail will be given on the bus ride there and back as well as during brieﬁngs. Attendees will ﬁnd out how a culture of excellence was instilled in this award-winning plant. See p. 14.

In what will truly be a bittersweet event, the late Terry Sieger, who had been the international sales director for Woodburn Diamond Die, will posthumously be awarded the President’s Award in recognition for his years of behind-thescenes work he had done on behalf of the Association. Terry died Wednesday, March 19, at the far too early age of 66. WAI President Bill Avise had nominated him for the award prior to his rapid decline. He may not be there to receive the award but he had been told of it. Terry Sieger See p. 25.

WAI OPERATIONS SUMMIT & WIRE EXPO 2014

WAI will again co-locate its traveling event, this time with the AISTech’s May 5-8 conference in Indianapolis. The result of that collaboration is a ferrous session from the combined resources. In 2012, the WAI Operations Summit and Wire Expo was co-located in Dallas with American Metals Market/ American Wire Producers Association’s Wire Rod Supply Chain Conference. In 2010, WAI co-located with the American Wire Producers Association (AWPA), which put on a conference with American Metals Market. See p. 38.

PLANT TOUR WAI OPERATIONS SUMMIT & WIRE EXPO 2014

General Cable: a focus on ‘Operational Excellence’ The plant tour has a bit of a twist this year as General Cable will turn to the classroom (including a rolling one) as well as a tour to present a clear picture of how the company’s Indianapolis facility, which produces polymer compounds, exemplifies a culture of excellence. Presenters for the May 7 tour include Buck Wright, Plant Manager, and Heather Stolper, Vice President Sourcing & Supply Chain. Attendees meet at Room 126 for a 12:30 pm briefing. The bus then departs, and during the trip there will be an overview of team contributions. Once at the facility, there will be a safety briefing and a presentation of success stories and challenges. The company’s strategy of continuous improvement emphasizes employee involvement in all production process aspects, and the results have been noteworthy. The facility was an IndustryWeek Best Plants Finalist in 2006; a winner in that competititon in 2007; has been selected as General Cable’s “Best Plant In North America” over 18 other plants; and received the President’s Award for Lowest Incident Rate (four years with no accidents/incidents of any kind). Attendees will be able to see how the following elements are employed at the General Cable plant:

• Insights to the success of world class safety results that come from associate ownership and accountability including its balanced approach to eliminate unsafe conditions and eradicate at-risk behaviors; • Transition from Central Control to Human Machine Interface (HMI) system at each station; • The Operator Led Process Control culture adopted in 2001 is used in its modern BUSS and Banbury compounding operations and supported by Lean Sigma Program; • Demonstration of practical Lean Kaizen event and Six Sigma Process capability project work; • Quality assurance and predictive maintenance techniques; • Hourly production associates are cross-trained in all production job classifications. Refresher training completed quarterly; • and a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) used to schedule monthly preventive maintenance procedures. The bus will return about 3:30 pm, with a Q&A session held on the ride back. Space is limited and preference will be given to full conference registrants. Participation is subject to approval from WAI and General Cable.

INDIANAPOLIS WAI OPERATIONS SUMMIT & WIRE EXPO 2014

Indianapolis: the ‘circle city’ has more than fast cars attractions. In 2013, the city won Sister Cities International’s 2013 Best Overall Program award for jurisdictions of populations 500,000 and above. The local take, per the visitors bureau, is that it’s not the racetrack or any structure that makes the An aerial view of Monument Circle. city noteworthy. “Mostly, it’s the spirit of the people of Indianapolis that sets our city apart. An artificial city laid down on the swampy marshes of a non-navigable river, Indy should have been a sleepy, small-town state capital. But with humility and competitive spirit, a quietly determined people created a great city from the ground up. Endowed with few natural advantages, the city was built by people who did not accept excuses. From those pioneers of the early days to Madam Walker rising to riches when African-Americans lacked opportunity, to the legendary battles at the Speedway to a downtown full of construction cranes in the middle of a recession, Indianapolis is the city that won’t quit. “Today that spirit is as alive and strong as ever. We’ve come a long way, but we still haven’t reached our potential. So while you delight in our sights and activities, be sure to get to know the people of Indianapolis. Treat yourself to the famous local hospitality, and be sure to come back soon to see what our determined attitude will create here tomorrow. Welcome to our great city. Welcome to Indianapolis.” The map on the opposite page provides some highlights and a few The century-old Indianapolis Motor Speedway annually plays host to the recommended restaurant choices are largest single-day sporting event in the world: the “Indy 500.” Photo provided on p. 20. courtesy of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Indianapolis is best known for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but the visitors bureau reports that the city, the capital of Indiana, has other noteworthy attractions. Indianapolis is also known as the Circle City because of the monument that is located in the city’s center, a big roundabout intersection downtown. The traffic circle at the intersection of Meridian and Market Streets features the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument. The circle, which is depicted on the city’s flag, and is generally considered the city’s symbol, lies in the shadow of Indiana’s tallest skyscraper, the Chase Tower. Per Wikipedia, Indianapolis has the most residents of any city in Indiana. As of the last census, the city’s population of just under 835,000 makes it the 13th largest city in the U.S. Historically, Indianapolis has oriented itself around government (a byproduct of its state capital function) and industry, particularly manufacturing. Over the years, the city revitalized the downtown area so that today it has a much more diversified economy, contributing to the fields of education, health care, and finance. Tourism is also a vital part of the economy of Indianapolis, with the city playing host to numerous conventions and sporting events. The best known of the latter are the annual Indianapolis 500, Brickyard 400 and NHRA U.S. Nationals, but the city also hosted the Pan American Games in 1987 and the Super Bowl XLVI in 2012. Both Forbes and Livability.com rank Indianapolis as having one of the best downtowns in the United States, citing “more than 200 retail shops, more than 35 hotels, nearly 300 restaurants and food options, movie theaters, sports venues, museums, art galleries and parks” as

WAI OPERATIONS SUMMIT & WIRE EXPO 2014

The WAI has selected the Skyline Club, which offers a stunning view of Indianpolis, to host the Members Rewards event and the awards presentations at 5:30 pm on Monday, May 5. This will mark the second time that WAI has held the Members Rewards event, the initial staging drawing more than 200 people at Interwire 2013. The setting, as noted, will be memorable, and WAI members in good standing are welcome to join the festivities, which will include a chance to enjoy refreshments, mingle with their peers and a chance to walk away with a good raffle prize. The event will also honor the winners of the Donnellan and Mordica awards (see pp. 60-61), the President’s Award (see p. 67) and the authors of the best technical papers. The winning technical papers were chosen by the Association’s Paper Awards Committee from those presented at Interwire 2013 and at the CabWire World Conference.

Cornwell holds Ph.D. and master’s degrees from Princeton University and a B.S. degree from Texas Tech University. He joined Rose-Hulman as professor in its Mechanical Engineering Department in 1989, and attained his current position in 2011. While at Rose-Hulman, he worked as a visiting scholar at Los Alamos National Laboratory during summers, and he helped create the Los Alamos Dynamics Summer School. He was named to the Princeton Review’s Best 300 Professors list for 2012. Cornwell has been widely recognized for his expertise. He had the best paper and presentation in the Mechanics Division at five American Society of Engineering Education annual conferences and has won awards from the Society of Automotive Engineers. On Jan. 9, Cornwell testified at a congressional hearing about private sector programs that encourage students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). He proposed specific initiatives that he believes could improve the national engineering graduation rate by 10%.

The late Terry Sieger to receive WAI President’s Award It is with great sadness that we must report here that what should have been the joyous honoring of Terry Sieger, a long-time, much beloved WAI member, will instead be a posthumous award. Sieger, the international sales manager for Woodburn Diamond Die Inc., died from cancer on Wednesday, March 19 at age 66. He had been scheduled to receive the President’s Award for his outstanding volunteer dedication at WAI’s Awards and Member Rewards event on May 5. Sieger was well known in the industry for both his knowledge and his willingness to help out. An Association member since 1985, he was a member and director of its Midwest Chapter, and had served as a member of WAI’s Board of Directors and the Executive Committee as well as the Membership Committee and the Exhibition Planning Task Force. Unlike the Mordica and Donnellan Memorial Awards which are awarded nearly every year, the President’s Award has been given only occasionally since its inception 10 years ago. It is given at the discretion of the sitting WAI president to single out for recognition outstanding contributions that might not otherwise be recognized. Current WAI President Bill Avise of Leggett & Platt, Inc., chose to honor Sieger this year.

“Our industry lost a truly great person and friend with the passing of Terry Sieger,” Avise said, adding that he was grateful that at least Terry knew he had been chosen for the award.

THE

BASICS

WAI OPERATIONS SUMMIT & WIRE EXPO 2014

Fundamentals of Wire & Cable Manufacturing Monday, May 5 A total of 11 sessions will be presented, all taught by industry experts. The sessions are being held on a single day to make it easier for attendees to take part in other events when the full schedule begins on Tuesday, May 6. The schedule is subject to change. For the latest information, go to www.wirenet.org.

General Topics 8:30 am - 9:15 am “Mechanics of Wiredrawing,” Joseph P. Domblesky, Marquette University, USA. This course covers basic engineering principles and process calculations that are used in wiredrawing processes for metal rods and wires. Topics that will be covered include material heat-up during drawing and friction. Calculating reductions and draw forces for sizing drawing stands using standard engineering formulas will also be considered. Also the effect of alloy chemistry will be considered on drawing performance along with an overview of common die materials. 9:15 am - 10:00 am “Drawing Dies,” Thomas Maxwell Jr., Die Quip Corp. This presentation focuses on the die, the most important part of the drawing process. Without it, the best drawing machines, lubricant, and treatment systems cannot reduce the wire diameter. However, with a die, vice pliers and a hammer, wire can be drawn, albeit slowly, as it has been for over 2,000 years. The intention of this course is to provide an understanding of what makes a die work, how it is designed, causes of failure and problems with drawing larger sizes. 10:15 am - 11:00 am “Wiredrawing Lubricant Technology,” David Gzesh, Blachford Corporation, USA. The heat generated in the wiredrawing process significantly affects the lubricant properties in the die gap. The amount of generated heat is influenced by the interaction of the lubricant with factors that include the metal composition, surface preparation, speed, and other process variables. Selecting the best lubricant for a given wiredrawing application can be challenging due to the seemingly limitless number of combinations of processing variables and the lubricant types that are available today. This course looks at the impact of a lubricant’s chemical and physical characteristics, in particular, the viscosity and chemistry influence on the lubricant selection process.

32 | SHOW PROGRAM

11:00 am - 11:45 pm “Wire Breaks & Surface Damage,” Horace Pops, Horace Pops Consulting Inc., USA. This course presents a classification of wire breaks from a perspective that compares material defects to process-related problems. Rod defects will include both casting and rolling issues such as internal voids, foreign contaminants, rolled-in scale, hot cracks, and surface porosity. The effects of wiredrawing speed and lubrication will be discussed with respect to generation of fines, shaving, galling, and other surface defects.

Ferrous Track 1:00 pm - 1:45 pm “Fundamentals of Ferrous Metallurgy,” Anand Bhagwat, Minova International, USA. This introductory course is designed to provide a general understanding of ferrous metallurgical concepts, including phase equilibrium, transformation, strengthening mechanisms, heat treatment, and an overview of steelmaking, and their relevance to the wire technology. 1:45 pm - 2:30 pm “Ferrous Testing and Properties,” C. Richard Gordon, Gerdau Long Steel North America, USA. This course discusses tensile, coiling, wrap, reverse bend, torsion, fatigue, and hardness testing procedures. It illustrates interpretation of test results in terms of sample properties. It also presents practical exercises of data analysis. 2:45 pm - 3:30 pm “Heat Treatment,” C. Richard Gordon, Gerdau Long Steel North America, USA. This course focuses on heat treatment of ferrous metals. It includes basic principles applicable to many metals with examples related to heat treatment of steel. It reviews the effect of furnace atmosphere and common reactions responsible for oxidation and other atmosphere/metal reactions. 3:30 pm - 4:15 pm “Cleaning & Coating of Rod and Wire,” Jack McAfee, Rudy Vey and Ed Davis, Chemetall US, USA. This course presents the fundamentals of cleaning, pickling, and coating of ferrous wire and rod in preparation for drawing and processing. Proper control and handling in these areas ensures quality of the finished product. The design of these processes impacts the economics of the operation. It is imperative that rather than individual stages, this department should be viewed as a whole as it is critical to success. The course deals with zinc phosphate processes and the advantages and limitations as well as

specialty coatings such as salt carriers, lubricants, dry film polymers, and new technologies on the horizon.

1:00 pm - 1:45 pm “Annealing of Electrical Conductors,” Horace Pops, Horace Pops Consulting Inc., USA. This course addresses principles of annealing, annealing of copper and aluminum wire, and annealing problems. Specific topics include definitions, structure—property changes, general concepts, engineering rules and guidelines, stages of annealing, role of work hardening; also, effects of composition, interaction of impurities, control of process variables (amount of reduction; intermediate anneals), measurement of annealing process, rate of softening, batch versus strand annealing; and annealability testing, purity and equipment problems, oxidation and staining, measurement of properties, hydrogen embrittlement, sticky wire, and frictional heating during drawing. 1:45 pm - 2:30 pm, “Formation and Measurement of Fines,” Horace Pops, Horace Pops Consulting. This session presents an analysis of the origin, microstructures, and make-up of fines in nonferrous products during rod production and wiredrawing. It includes a morpholog-

2:30 pm - 3:30 pm “Extrusion, Part 1,” Erik A. Macs, Progressive Machinery Inc., USA. Part 1 starts with a review of the basic polymers typically used in the wire and cable process and is followed by explanation of the basic design of a thermoplastic extruder—barrel and liners, feed section, drive system, gearbox and thrust bearing, heating/cooling system, and pellet feeding. Special emphasis is placed on the varieties of screw design. 3:30 pm - 4:15 pm “Extrusion, Part 2,” Erik A. Macs, Progressive Machinery Inc., USA. Part 2 covers the design considerations of the remaining components of extrusion lines. Items discussed include payoffs, dancers and accumulators, preheaters, crossheads, cooling troughs, capstans, on-line measurement and testing, printing, take-ups, and control systems. A brief review of typical troubleshooting tips is included if time permits.

CONFERENCE SESSIONS WAI OPERATIONS SUMMIT & WIRE EXPO 2014

Operations Summit returns with new elements Building on the success of the first Operations Summit two years ago, the 2014 installment features the return of those things that worked well the first time as well as the introduction of some new elements we hope will work even better. WAI’s Conference Programming Committee has assembled a program designed to give plant managers and their staff practical insights into getting the most out of their day-to-day operations. Moreover, it is meant to provide a forum for sharing experiences and advice among peers through the personal contact of new and growing relationship in a way nothing else can match. Program elements that will see return engagements include the popular machinery roundtable, Operational Excellence case studies of industry success stories, and a safety forum. New this time will be segment-specific Equipment Forums to examine critical processes with insights for efficiency and improvement. The traditional

plant tour finds a new twist in the “Mobile Classroom,” a facility visit that bridges the gap between the conference and the shop floor by extending the learning experience to a nearby facility. General Cable is opening its doors for a peek into what makes its continuous improvement culture unique and so successful. Finally, while the technical sessions familiar to attendees of Interwire are not part of the re-imagined Operations Summit, there will still be something for that audience. For the first time ever, WAI and the Association of Iron and Steel Technology (AIST) have organized a joint session of 10 papers on metallurgy of wire rod, taking advantage of the co-location of AISTech’s May 5-8 conference with Expo’s May 6-7 program, both at the Indiana Convention Center.

chronicles successes under the most dangerous conditions. Injuries and incidents don’t just happen—they happen because we fail to manage risk to the lowest possible level. How people approach and do work does make a significant difference. Organizations achieve safety excellence through creating distinctive behaviors through use of systems.

The four distinctive behaviors are: Plan Work with Risk Management, Accept Accountability, Take Care of Each Other, and Walk the Talk. Organizations in a wide variety of industries have significantly improved their safety performance along with other operation success factors following this strategic direction.

AIST-WAI Joint Session: Metallury of wire rod 10:00 am - 10:30 am Recent Applications of a Heater Cover in a Stelmor Cooling System, Siwon Yoon, Gwansik Min, Seongkyu See, and Sanghyun Oh, POSCO, South Korea From the advent of the Stelmor cooling system, it has been a major part of wire rod manufacturing. To overcome the drawbacks of the process, however, the application of a slow cooling cover with a resistance heater has been considered. Experiments with pilot-scale equipment were conducted to investigate the effect of the heater setting temperature, the number of heaters turned on and the diameter of wire rods. The results show that the wire rod diameter and the applied heater power are inversely proportional to the cooling velocity.

WAI OPERATIONS SUMMIT & WIRE EXPO 2014

Co-location with AIST a boon for WAI technical program Two years ago, WAI offered a different technical program, one that was not based on technical papers but presentations on everyday issues faced by wire and cable manufacturers. The reponse was quite good, enough that the Association is repeating that approach. One plus for 2014 is that through WAIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst-ever co-location with the Association for Iron and Steel Technologyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (AIST) AISTech event, attendees of the Operations Summit & Wire Expo 2014 will also be able to sit in on one or more technical papers being presented via a joint session with AIST. There is a lot to be said for being able to travel to one event instead of two, but pooling the resources of the constituencies of both groups, who have considerable overlap, is perhaps the greatest, and offers the intangibles of personal relationships. Both conferences will be hosted near each other within the Indiana Convention Center. AISTech runs from May 5 to 8, while the

Recently interests increases on global environment. Demand on structural components and lightweight parts increases. It is necessary to increase the strength of the high-carbon steel wire further. The strain aging and non-uniform deformation are focused. The authors studies the suppression of ductility decrease by means of cryogenic temperature wiredrawing and by uniform deformation wiredrawing. The latter was realized by an optimum combination of the die geometry and reduction in area. 11:30 am - noon 7KH ,QĂ&#x20AC;XHQFH RI 2[\JHQ (QULFKHG %XUQHU 6\VWHPV RQ WKH 6FDOH )RUPDWLRQ RI 6WHHO $OOR\V 'XULQJ +HDWLQJ 3URFHVVHV &KULVWLQD 9LNWRULD 6RERWND DQG +HOPXW $QWUHNRZLWVFK 8QLYHUVLW\ RI /HREHQ $XVWULD The influence of oxygen enrichment

Operations Summit and Wire Expo runs May 6 to 7. To make the most of the co-location opportunity, the two groups are sponsoring a joint session on topics of interest to both the steel industry at large and the wire sector speciďŹ cally. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Metallurgy of Wire Rodâ&#x20AC;? session comprises two segments on Tuesday, May 6: one a four-paper section from 10:00 am to noon, and the second a six-paper group from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. The sessions will be located in a central room convenient to attendees of both conferences. WAI Director of Education Marc Murray identiďŹ ed Bhaskar Yalamanchili as the key driver who brought the session into being. Director of corporate quality for Gerdau Long Steel North America, Yalamanchili is a member of WAIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Directors and a key volunteer in both organizations. He coordinated between AIST and WAI to make the session happen and is co-moderating the afternoon program.

on the scale formation of steel alloys in burner-fired furnaces is investigated. Oxygen-enriched combustion leads to a higher amount of oxidizing agents (CO2 and H2O) in the atmosphere which react with the steel surface during the heating process and affect the high-temperature oxidation. Therefore, experiments with various steel grades are carried out using thermogravimetric analyses and compared with real forging and reheating furnaces using oxygen-enriched burners. The results imply that there is a change in the kinetic model of the oxidation reaction at a temperature above 1,000Â°C. 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm 0LFUR1LRELXPÂŽ 6WHHOPDNLQJ $OOR\ $SSURDFK LQ :LUH 5RG 6WHYHQ -DQVWR &%00 1RUWK $PHULFD ,QF 86$

The MicroNiobiumÂŽ alloy approach is applied in higher-carbon steels exceeding 0.20% carbon. This study evaluates different Nb and Nb-V compositions from 0.020 to 0.120%Nb in AISI 1080 steels for wire rod applications. Although the Nb solubility is limited in high-carbon steels compared to low-carbon steels, the optimized Nb content is defined based on experimental results. The optimized Nb content leads to improved mechanical properties due to the finer interlamellar pearlite spacing. Seven different eutectoid steel developmental chemistries were evaluated to determine the effectiveness of Nb, V or Nb-V concentrations on the pearlite interlameller spacing, mechanical properties and drawability consistency.

were compared. These techniques mainly highlight the increase in the amount of carbon atoms dissolved in ferrite due to the strain-induced decomposition of cementite during cold drawing. This phenomenon is

likely to underlie the post-drawing aging. Then, the aging kinetics are monitored by TEP and exhibit three aging mechanisms occurring even at 20°C. DSC confirms the occurrence of these three mechanisms.

2:30 pm - 3:00 pm Interplay Between Grain Size and Austenite Stability on the Deformation Behavior of HighStrength, High-Combination Austenitic Stainless Steels, Venkata Sai Challa and Devesh Misra, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, USA; and Mahesh Somani and Pentti Karjalainen, University of Oulu, Finland. Currently there are no reports that show a systematic grain size effect on the deformation mechanisms in a relatively large grain size spectrum from ultrafine-grained (UFG) to coarsegrained (CG) regime in a single material, processed using a single set of identical parameters. Utilizing the concept of severe deformation-annealing sequence involving phase reversion, together with nanoscale deformation experiments, the authors elucidate the dependence of grain size on deformation mechanisms. It is illustrated that there is a clear distinction and fundamental transition in the deformation behavior of UFG austenitic stainless steel such that deformation twinning contributed to the excellent ductility of highstrength UFG steel, while in lowstrength CG steel, ductility was also good but because of strain-induced martensitic transformation.
