Knowledge Popularization: Reed manufacturing process introduction volume 1

Reed is a special standard tooling for weaving wire 

mesh, and its quality has a great impact on product 

quality. Therefore, general wire mesh weaving 

factory also attaches great importance to the 

manufacture of reed, reed manufacturing process 

and requirements are briefly described below:

(1) Cultivation: Cut the steel strip to the required 

width, with a deviation of 12 mm±0.02 mm, 

8 mm±0.005 mm, 7 mm±0.005 mm, and require 

the strip to be free of water drop marks, flanging, 

cracking, ruffling, and S-bending. Big knife bend 

does not exceed 2mm/m.

(2) Production: Joint the steel belt in the same 

direction of the knife bend and fill the sheet disk, 

the thickness of the joint should not exceed 30% 

of the thickness of the reed. Burr, with an emery 

cloth to the side of the steel belt and the four 

corners of the light, bright. Requirements for the 

side of the steel belt is bright, no burrs, no 

corners, no bending of the plane, no oil, solid 

joints, no obvious traces of joints.

(3) heat treatment: adjust the furnace temperature 

and closing speed trial processing, in the process 

of processing should be observed at any time the 

quality of the steel strip. If you find quality defects 

should be promptly adjusted furnace temperature, 

closing speed or heat treatment furnace auxiliary 

accessories to adjust. Requirements for the treated 

steel strip should be straight and bright, no warping, 

water drop marks, waves, oxidation color and rust 

phenomenon. After treatment, the hardness of the 

steel belt between (53 ~ 58) HRC, with good 

toughness and elasticity, hand-folding 180 ° fracture, 

the knife bending gap is not more than 1mm / m.
