I have a project that may require the use of compacted 7-wire prestressing strand. I have experience with 1/2" (12.7mm) and 0.6" (15.2mm) diameter 7-wire prestressing strand, but little with compacted strand.
Does any one know if after regular 7-wire strand is manufactured, does the strand get heated before it goes through compacting dies/rollers, or is is a cold process?
I could not find much manufacturing info on the internet on compacting strand.
TIA
