Abstract

Micro wires manufactured by the straightening progress are widely used in bio-medical and semi-conductor fields. In this study, we have developed a novel straightener which uses the direct heating method for straightening. In order to avoid the surface oxidization, during the heating process, we supplied the inert gas(Ar) and examined the effect of the gas flow rate. The effect of the tension and the current applied to the tungsten micro wires were thoroughly studied. From various experiments, it was found that when the tension is $500{\sim}600gf$ and the current is about 1.5A, we obtained higher straightness(${\approx}1{\mu}m/1000{\mu}m$) and roundness ($<{\pm}2{\mu}m/100{\mu}m$).
