Title :
Magnet wire viewed through a looking glass: problem solving with the optical microscope
Author_Institution :
Phelps Dodge Magnet Wire Co., Fort Wayne, IN, USA
Abstract :
Problem solving associated with the manufacture and application of magnet wire, using microscopic analysis, is discussed in depth. Techniques such as simple stereoscopic magnification (to locate microscopic winding damage), polarized light (for fiber identification and stress analysis), and cross-sectional image analysis are shown in case study form
