Abstract
A method and apparatus for cooling elongate material, such as wire, after it has been drawn through a die, in which liquid coolant is applied to the drawn elongate material in only sufficient quantity to enable all or substantially all of the applied liquid coolant to be evaporated thus utilizing the latent heat of evaporation of the liquid coolant to cool the elongate material.
