  • Method of rewinding slit metal strands
    Patent number: 4614101
    Abstract: Multiple strands of metal slit from strip which varies in thickness from edge to center are separately coiled on the same mandrel into uniformly tight coils by selectively working the strands so as to reduce the thickness and elongate thicker strands more than thinner strands. The working is preferably accomplished by imparting reverse bends to the strands while tensioning them in amounts less than the tensile yield strength of the metal.
