WHY WIROP CARBON STEEL SLEEVES ARE ARGUABLY TH HIGHEST QUALITY IN THE WORLD TODAY
The Most Important Factors in Making The Highest Quality Carbon Steel Sleeves
- Use Low Carbon Steel With No Impurities.
- Control Heat Treatment With Qualified Personnel.
- Pedorm Quality Control Checks At Critical Points In The Process.
Materials
To ensure that all materials used in the manufacture of sleeves are of the highest quality. samples from each batch of stock are sent to Wirop’s quality lab to be inspected under microscope and checked for metal purity
Heat Treatment
For a carbon steel sleeve to withstand the force of swaging, yet not crack. it must be annealed or softened so that it can be properly cold formed. Wirop is unique in that it controls this process in-house with its state-of-the-art, vacuum type spheroidizing heat treat furnaces. Spheroidizing allows the metal crystals to flow more effectively and ensure that no cracking occurs. Controlling this process in its own facility helps guarantee that the sleeves will be produced to the highest quality standards.
Destructive Testing
After each batch of sleeves has been heat treated, random samples are selected for destructive testing. The sleeves are placed into a press where they are pressed flat in two directions. This quality process ensures that the sleeve metal is ductile enough for swaging in a wire rope press.
Markings & Packaging
For traceability purposes. each sleeve is marked with a batch code, size and Wirop logo Once marked, sleeves are packaged and ready for
