Wire Surface Folding

Wire bending and sheet metal folding are two of the basic sheet metal fabrication processes which are used to shape metals into various desired shapes and designs. Both processes involve the bending of sheets of metal into various desired forms. Sheet metal folding involves forming a thin, flat sheet of metal into an angled shape or a curve, while wire bending takes a thicker, usually round piece of metal and bends it into an enclosed shape such as a square or rectangle.

Wire bending, also known as cold working, is a process in which wire is bent around a form, usually with the help of a machine, to produce a desired shape. Cold working is a manufacturing process which does not require heating the metal before bending. This type of process produces a higher quality product than hot rolling, which requires heating the metal to make it less brittle before shaping. The result obtained from a wire bending process is a more accurate shape with a smoother finish and improved dimensional stability.

For maximum accuracy and stability in the outcome of any bending process, the wire’s surface must be pre-treated with some type of coating. Commonly known as “folded” surfaces, these coatings help to create a sleek and uniform bend in the metal. During the wire bending process, pressure is applied to the wire at various points in order to create the bends. The coating helps to both lubricate the metal and reduce friction between the wire and the machine, allowing for a much smoother bend.

When folding surfaces of wire table sheets, it’s important to take into account the amount of force that needs to be applied. Too much force will cause the metal to deform, creating an uneven skim and eliminating the preferred uniformity. On the other hand, too little force will not create a smooth bending surface and will require more effort to achieve the desired result. It’s important to consider the type of wire table material and the thickness of the metal when folding surfaces of wire table sheets. Metal thickness will determine the type of folding machine that is needed to obtain the desired results.

Wire table folding machines come in a range of sizes, from small handheld tools, to large production line machines. The size of the machine will directly influence the amount of force and stroke that the machine can achieve, meaning that the larger the machine, the more force and stroke it can withstand. Production line machines can produce accurately folded metal table surfaces in high volumes in a short period of time, making them a great choice for production lines.

In conclusion, wire bending and sheet metal folding are two of the basic sheet metal fabrication processes used when shaping metals into various desired shapes and designs. The folding process helps to create a sleek and uniform bend in the metal, with the help of a pre-treatment coating. The size of the folding machine is an important factor to consider when folding surfaces of wire table sheets, as it will determine the amount of force and stroke that the machine can deliver. Production line machines are an efficient way to fold metal table surfaces in high volumes in a short amount of time.

Wire folding is a kind of technology for surface treatment of wire. It is a common surface treatment in the industry. The wire can be divided into straight wire and folded wire after the folding process, and the folded wire has a three-dimensional effect.

This technology has become an indispensable part in the design of many products. Its unusual appearance and beautiful texture can add more layers and beauty to the product, reflecting the personality of the product.

The surface treatment of wire folding includes wire coating, hot blast, storage, stripping and other processes. After the folding process, the wire can be used to produce external ornaments, household items, mobile phone sets, and various displays.

The main equipment for wire folding is wire folding machine, which can be divided into two types: automatic wire folding machine and hand wire folding machine according to the degree of automation. The automatic wire folding machine has better stability, higher efficiency and higher precision than the manual wire folding machine.

The folded wire looks no different from ordinary wire at a glance, but the folding technology is technically demanding. It is a process of gradually multiplying the single wire into three-dimensional features, which makes the wire extraordinary and special. Wire folding can make the surface of the wire more textured and soft, and it has higher decorative effect than ordinary wire.
