Application and Spinning Performance of Ceramic Yarn Guide

Abstract

The hardness and roughness of the guide inside surface are essential for the tension and twist of yarn. Common yarn guide has a poor performance in guiding due to its low hardness and high roughness, which has been being substituted by those made of emerging materials, such as ceramics. This work spun yarns using different guides and ceramic yarn guide shows a better spinning performance. Combining with mechanical analysis and previous studies, the dynamic mechanism of yarn guide and yarn is discussed further.
