Rad-Con offers a system for annealing wire and wire rod, medium-carbon and alloy steels, to cold-heading quality (CHQ) specifications. The H2SHC™ system provides a high convection to produce uniform mechanical properties necessary for the manufacture of high quality fasteners. The company’s proportional-pulse control system design produces a stable thermal cycle that is key to achieving 90 to 100 per cent spheroidisation – which leads to greater die life and better flow during the cold forming process. It uses a 100 per cent hydrogen protective atmosphere along with patented AC/ APEx™ control system to ensure surface quality free of decarburisation – another important element in the production of CHQ wires.

Rad-Con designs and manufactures Bell type furnaces for spheroidise annealing of wire and wire rod for the production of cold-heading quality wires (CHQ). Many of the largest fastener manufacturers are using Rad-Con equipment. The company specialises in one type of furnace – Bell type, one type of process – annealing, and has very specific knowledge in spheroidising of alloy steel hot-rolled wire rod and drawn wires, resulting in a clean surface that is free of decarburisation. ❍ Rad-Con specialises in one type of furnace – the Bell type

progressive alloy rods such as copper chrome zirconium. The single furnace multi-chamber design accurately controls and maintains the target composition by varying the feed rate of each of the constituent elements. The liquid metal is protected from the atmosphere by being enclosed within an argon gas environment. Rautomead will also be exhibiting its conventional open furnace model con- tinuous casting machines, which are used for the production of high-purity, high- quality, oxygen-free copper wire rods and also conductor alloy rods such as CuMg, CuAg and CuSn. This continuous cast rod material benefits manufacturers of enamelled wires, super- fine wires, LAN cables, wiring harnesses, railway wires, shaped, contact wires, CTC and transformer strips. ❍ Model RSL 1400 casting machine, with sealed lid technology
