Steel wool is a cleaning implement made of fine steel wire that is commonly used for cleaning, polishing, and grinding surfaces. The fineness and strength of steel wool can be adjusted for different uses, from coarse steel wool for removing heavier stains and scratches, to finer steel wool for polishing and finishing. Steel wool is usually rolled into a ball or bundled and can be used with hand or power tools. Because of its durability and versatility, steel wool is used in many different fields, such as woodworking, metalworking, and automotive maintenance.
The general process of manufacturing steel wool (Steel wool) is as follows:
1. Material selection: First, high-quality steel wire is selected as the raw material, and ferritic stainless steel wire or high-carbon steel wire is commonly used.
2. Cleaning: Clean the raw materials to remove impurities such as dirt and grease on the surface.
3. Wire drawing: Put the cleaned steel wire into the wire drawing machine, and the steel wire is thinned and drawn into strips by drawing and rolling.
4. Cutting: Cut the drawn long steel wire into the required length by machine.
5. Winding: The cut steel wire is wound into a cylinder by the machine until it reaches the desired density and shape.
6. Drying: Put the finished steel wool into a drying furnace to remove the moisture.
7. Packaging: After drying, the steel wool is packaged and usually sold in rolls.
