Abstract: In order to study the influence of different lubricating media on the corrosion resistance of aluminum clad steel wires during drawing, various performance tests and neutral salt spray tests were carried out on aluminum clad steel wires produced by the same process but different lubricating media (lubricating oil and lubricating powder).The results showed that there was little difference in the properties of aluminum clad steel wire produced by two different lubricating media; After 1 000 h neutral salt spray test, the properties of aluminum clad steel wire produced by two different lubricating media showed a downward trend.However, due to deeper scratches and more defects on the surface of aluminum clad steel wire produced by lubricating powder drawing, the properties such as average aluminum layer thickness declined more significantly after salt spray test.
