Fine wire drawing is a continuous forming process in which a wire is pulled through a drawing die to gradually reduce its cross section. As the wire moves through the die, the two surfaces remain in close contact under considerable pressure. The condition of this contact affects how smoothly the material passes through the drawing...
During wire drawing, the material passes through a die under continuous contact and pressure. The die controls the shape of the passage through which the wire moves, so its condition has a direct connection with the dimensions and surface condition of the finished wire. The working surface does not remain unchanged throughout production. Repeated contact...
