He is a genuine industry influencer, and he has made the Association better with that perspective and background.”

Gerardo’s career began in 1984, when he was hired as a mechanical designer at O.M. Lesmo Machinery and

promoted to sales area manager in 1988. In 1992, he moved to the U.S. and joined SAMP USA as a business area manager. There, he was promoted to sales & marketing manager in 2000 and to vice president of sales & service in 2010. In 2019, Gerardo joined the MFL Group, a global engineering and manufacturing organization that designs and builds wire drawing, stranding-screening-armoring, and extrusion machinery.

Gerardo studied at the Engineering & Mechanical Institute, a foundation that informed his early work as a mechanical designer and his long career advancing wire and cable machinery technology worldwide. Fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, he was successful wherever he went, cited for his excellent communication and interpersonal skills and his ability to lead global teams.

The award will be presented at the annual meeting at Wire Expo.

GENERAL

8:45 am – noon | Hyatt Regency CD

Mechanics of wiredrawing

Matt Reinoehl, SDI LaFarga COPPERWORKS

This course presents fundamental engineering principles and process calculations that are used to design, analyze, and improve metal rod and wiredrawing operations. Topics include a basic overview of wiredrawing mechanics with respect to material behavior and process parameters. Die angle and reduction will be addressed in light of the parameter and its practical application. Drawing limits, friction and lubrication, work-piece heating, and temperature effects are also discussed.

Drawing dies

Joao Norona, Paramount Die Company

This presentation focuses on the die, the most important part of the drawing process. Without it, the best drawing machines, lubricant, and treatment systems cannot reduce the wire diameter. However, with a die, vice pliers and a hammer, wire can be drawn, albeit slowly, as it has been for over 2,000 years. The intention of this course is to provide an understanding of what makes a die work, how it is designed, causes of failure, and problems with drawing larger sizes.

Lubrication in the wire drawing process

Svet Pavlovsky, H.L. Blachford Ltd.

The wiredrawing process generates significant heat that affects the lubricants’ physical and chemical properties which in turn affects the lubricants’ ability to provide separation of the wire to the die. The amount of generated heat is influenced by complex interactions between metal composition, surface preparation, production equipment, and other factors. This presentation reviews basic lubrication principles, and typical lubricant compositions used in ferrous and nonferrous applications.

Wire breaks and surface damage

Horace Pops, Horace Pops Consulting, Inc.

This session presents a classification of wire breaks from a perspective that compares material defects to process-related problems. Rod defects will include both casting and rolling issues such as internal voids, foreign contaminants, rolled-in scale, hot cracks, and surface porosity. The effects of wiredrawing speed and lubrication will be discussed with respect to generation of fines, shaving, galling, and other surface defects.
