Manufacturing Process

Step 1

Rod Preparation

Aluminium rods of the required alloy (1100, 5056, 2017) are selected and pre-inspected for surface and composition.

Step 2

Multi-pass Wire Drawing

Rods progressively drawn through diamond-grade dies to final rivet wire diameter with intermediate anneals to restore ductility.

Step 3

Precision Annealing

Final anneal at controlled temperature ensures the soft, ductile condition required for cold-heading without cracking.

Step 4

Surface Finishing

Wire surfaces bright-finished and lubricated; diameter and roundness verified to close tolerances (±0.01 mm).

Step 5

Coiling & Spooling

Wire coiled or spooled to customer-specified coil weights for automated cold-heading machines and rivet presses.

Step 6

QC & Dispatch

Tensile strength, elongation and hardness verified; diameter and surface inspected per ISO 6892 / ASTM B316. Full material certificates issued.
