Technical ceramics and wear-resistant ceramic coatings in wire drawing

Technical ceramic materials represent one of the most innovative and high-performance solutions in the field of industrial coatings, offering a unique combination of advanced properties. Among the most widely used arezirconium oxide andchromium oxide, materials chosen for their high resistance to wear, abrasion and corrosion. Thanks to their ability to maintain stability and hardness even at high temperatures, ceramic coatings are ideal for protecting the surfaces of machinery subjected to extreme working conditions, such as the capstans and pulleys used in drawing processes.

Zirconium oxide is particularly known for its hardness and temperature resistance, while chromium oxide has excellent anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties. Together, these materials enable the creation of ceramic coatings that extend the life of components and improve the quality of the final product.In the field of wire drawing, these characteristics translate into tangible advantages in terms of efficiency and performance, as components coated with technical ceramics require less maintenance and guarantee continuous, high-quality production.

Wear-resistant ceramic coatings for mechanical components

Anti-wear ceramic coatings, applied to mechanical surfaces, aim to reduce friction and wear, two common problems in high-intensity processes such as wire drawing. These coatings not only improve stress resistance, but also protect components from abrasion and corrosion, contributing to a longer service life .

A quality ceramic coating, such as one based on zirconium oxide, can make all the difference in the durability and performance of critical components such as cabestans, which during the drawing process are subject to continuous contact with the material being processed. Paganoni, for example, offers advanced solutions for ceramic coatings, which can improve the mechanical resistance of surfaces and guarantee excellent protection even in environments with high humidity or corrosive agents.

Thanks to the resistance of these coatings, mechanical surfaces remain intact for longer, preventing deterioration that would compromise product quality. For the drawing industry, this means significant savings in terms of maintenance costs and downtime. Using quality technical ceramics, the coatings provide protection that prolongs the life of the machinery while helping to maintain consistent productivity levels.

Applications in wire drawing: An added value for copper and non-ferrous metals

In the wire drawing industry, the use of technical ceramics has opened up new possibilities for optimising processes and obtaining high quality end products. Ceramic coatings are particularly effective in the processing of copper and non-ferrous metals, materials that require durable contact surfaces to withstand intensive and continuous production cycles.

Cables and pulleys coated with technical ceramics offer greater wear resistance than untreated surfaces, reducing the need for frequent replacement and optimising operating costs. Paganoni, with its innovative solutions, provides specific ceramic coatings for drawing applications that increase the durability of surfaces and allow a constant material tension to be maintained throughout the process. This uniform tension is essential to ensure precise and flawless drawing, minimising material losses and improving overall productivity.

A concrete application of technical ceramics in drawing processes concerns the capstans and pulleys used to process copper wire and other non-ferrous metals. Coating these components with chromium oxide, for example, significantly improves abrasion resistance, enabling them to handle high loads and high temperatures without compromising equipment stability. Ceramic coatings also offer extra protection against corrosion, which is particularly important when drawing materials that generate friction and heat during the process.
