The Temperature Dependency of Frictional Properties of Metal Wires When Drawn through Viscose Fiber Bundles

As the inter-fiber frictional force seems to be one of the most important factors, in this study, the withdrawal frictional force at withdrawing a fine copper wire through a viscose fiber bundle was measured at the temperature range from 20°C to 130°C. Consequently, we obtained the conclusion that the withdrawal frictional property of viscose fiber bundles was expressed by the following experimental equation; f=Ko; tε(p/√)β where f is the withdrawal frictional force, t is the temperature, p is the external pressure, ξ is the volumetric ratio, and K, ε and β are experimental constants.
