Conventionally, NiTi alloy wire has been manufactured by hot working an ingot and drawing it using a die. However, in the conventional method, NiTi alloy easily reacts with the die because it contains active metal Ti.
It has the disadvantage that it tends to seize on the die, thus making the life of the die extremely short. Furthermore, since it is easily work hardened, it also has the disadvantage of being prone to wire breakage during wire drawing. For this reason, there were problems such as having to perform a large number of intermediate annealing steps and not being able to increase the area reduction rate required for one wire drawing.

Purpose of the Invention Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to be able to extend the life of the die and effectively prevent wire breakage during wire drawing, thereby reducing the number of steps and reducing the number of wire drawings in one time. The object of the present invention is to provide a method for drawing a NiTi alloy wire that can achieve a large reduction in area per hit.

Structure of the Invention This invention provides a NiTi alloy containing 50 to 60% by weight of Ni and the remainder being Ti, or a part of Ni or Ti, within a range of 10% by weight of the total, such as Fe, Co, Cu, etc.
A method of wire drawing a NiTi alloy substituted with one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Al, Zr, V, etc., in which the wire surface is coated with a thickness of 0.03 to 3 μm using a die prior to wire drawing. This is a method for drawing a NiTi alloy, which is characterized by the presence of an oxide film.

That is, in the present invention, in the NiTi alloy having the above composition, an oxide film is formed on the surface of the wire, and then the wire is drawn using a die.
Any oxide film may be used as long as the oxide film is "existed prior to wire drawing using a die." That is, although wire drawing is generally performed multiple times using multiple dies, it is not necessary to always form an oxide film prior to wire drawing using each die.
It is only necessary that the oxide film be present at the above thickness on the wire surface during wire drawing using each die. Therefore, if an oxide film is formed before wire drawing with the first stage die, if the oxide film remains at the above thickness when inserted into the second stage die, it will be oxidized again immediately before wire drawing with the second stage die. It is not necessary to form a coating.

The present invention provides that if an oxide film with the thickness described above is formed on the surface of the wire, cutting accidents of the wire during wire drawing can be avoided.
This is based on the knowledge that variations in surface properties can be reduced and the service life of the die can be extended.

The oxide film may be formed by controlling the oxidizing nature of the atmosphere during a normal strain relief annealing process that is performed prior to wire drawing using a die. In this case, the oxidizing atmosphere may be an oxygen atmosphere or air. Known techniques such as atmosphere may be used. Moreover, it goes without saying that the oxide film may be formed by an independent process.

As mentioned above, the thickness of the oxide film is "0.03 ~ 3 μm"
The reason for this is that if the diameter is less than 0.03 μm, there is little improvement in the wire drawing process, and if the diameter exceeds 3 μm, complicated operations are required for removal in the final stage, and the complete processability effect is saturated, and furthermore, the internal NiTi This is because there is a risk that the base metal will also be oxidized.

Preferably, before drawing with each die,
After strain relief annealing, the wire is cooled to at least 50°C or lower. This is to cool the NiTi alloy to make it softer mantensite and improve the cross-section reduction rate during wire drawing.

More preferably, during wire drawing with a die,
A lubricant is also used. By using a lubricant, seizure of the die can be more effectively prevented. As lubricants, both dry lubricants and oil-based lubricants can be used. It is most preferable to use a dry lubricant when the diameter of the wire is about 1 to 3 mm or more, and it is preferable to use an oil-based lubricant when the diameter is less than this. Dry lubricants have good lubricity, but they increase the surface roughness of the wire and deteriorate the appearance when the diameter is close to the final wire diameter. Oil-based lubricants are used to maintain good surface properties of the wire. However, the lubricity is not sufficient.

After the wire drawing with the die is completed, the oxide film is removed, preferably by continuous electrolytic pickling. This is because if the oxide film is removed by electrolytic pickling, the oxide film can be removed without damaging the wire surface. However, it goes without saying that the oxide film may be removed by other methods, such as chemicals.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in this invention, an oxide film with a thickness of 0.03 to 3 μm is formed on the wire surface before wire drawing with a die. It is possible to dramatically reduce seizure and therefore greatly extend the life of the die. Furthermore, the presence of the oxide film can effectively prevent wire breakage accidents during wire drawing of the NiTi alloy, and can also reliably reduce roughness and seizure on the surface of the wire during wire drawing.

Next, a second wire drawing process was performed using a second wire drawing die 6 (diameter: 1.8 mm). Note that an oil-based lubricant was used in the second wire drawing die 6. After the wire is drawn by the second wire drawing die 6, it is passed through a strain relief annealing furnace 7 which also has an atmosphere adjustment device 8, and finally passed through an electrolytic pickling device 9 to remove the oxide film on the surface of the wire. It was taken up by a take-up reel 10.

The atmosphere adjusting devices 2 and 8 are provided to adjust the degree of oxidation within the strain relief annealing furnaces 3 and 7. The thickness of the oxide film just before it is inserted into the first wire drawing die 5 is adjusted by the atmosphere adjusting device 2.
When the amount of wire drawing per one elasticity was examined by varying the amount of wire drawing by adjusting the amount of elasticity, the results shown in FIG. 2 were obtained.

As is clear from Figure 2, the thickness of the oxide film is
It is understood that wire drawability will be good if it is in the range of 0.3 to 3 μm. Furthermore, it should be pointed out that in this example, when the oxide film had a thickness of 0.1 μm or less, die seizure occurred frequently and the life of the die was therefore shortened.
