金属线材,丝材及纤维的传统制造方法是采用机械加工工艺。现在市场上所有的线材及类似于线材的实用产品都要涉及到轧、拉拔、旋锻、挤压等机械加工过程。然而,重要的是了解现在所采用的这几个工艺—其中某些工艺还处在研究阶段;某些已经用到生产上,使直接浇铸线材或类似于线材的产品成为可能。无疑,铸态产品的结构及性能通常是不同于现行工艺制造的产品,而这些工艺差别常常带来了许多有益之处。线材及纤维的浇铸工艺事实上并非是一个新工艺,早至1882年就有论及这些工艺的 The traditional method of making metal wires, wires and fibers is machining. Now on the market all the wire and similar wire products are related to the practical application of rolling, drawing, swaging, extrusion and other mechanical processing. However, it is important to understand the processes that are being used today - some of which are still at the research stage and some that have been used in production to make it possible to cast directly or wire-like products. Undoubtedly, the structure and properties of as-cast products are usually different from the products made by the current process, and the difference of these processes often brings many benefits. The casting of wire and fiber is not in fact a new process, as of 1882
