Abstract:
In 1977 approximately 24,000,000
tons of low carbon steel wire rods were
put out in the world, of which 1,900,000
tons were consumed in making wire
nails. An increasing quantity O'f nails is
being consumed year by year, and
various kinds of nails are being manufactured
for special purposes.
Nail makrng does not require highly
advanced knowledge or technique, and
its making capacity can freely be fixed
according to the demand in the locality.
The plant can be built at any place
without environmental restraint. The
day, when a simple and single shape of
nails was used, came to an end. Nails
are now being used for fastening such
things as wood, steel plate, aluminum
plate, petrochemical panel, etc., and
nails of special shapes and of high grade
are being manufactured. The nail
making plant can easily be expanded,
rationalized, automated or can adopt a
labour saving device.
