Wire Drawing a − a by Pulling a Bar, Tube Or Wire Through a Die the Cross Sec�On R% = O F ×100 Is Reduced Bar and Wire Drawing A − A By pulling a bar, tube or wire through a die the cross sec6on r% = o f ×100 is reduced. The percentage reduc6on of area (%r) is given Ao by the equaon: Where Ao is the ini6al area and Af is the final area. It is usually performed in round sec6ons. Very small diameters can be obtained by successive drawing operaons through dies of progressively small diameters. Annealing before each set of reduc6ons allows large reduc6on percentages. In steels the annealing process is called paten6ng. When drawing hard materials, the working face of the die is made of tungsten carbide (WC) by powder metallurgy. For very fine diameters a diamond impregnated die is preferred. In a mul6ple die configuraon, the pulling force through the die is provided by each of the drums (capstan drums).

The design of the die geometry is an essential aspect of metalworking, and directly affects the resultant product’s quality and cost. As a matter of fact, a comprehensive understanding of the die bearing geometry plays a vital role in the die design process. For the specific case of wire drawing, however, few efforts have been dedicated to the study of the geometry of the bearing zone. In this regard, the present paper involves an attempt to investigate the effects of different geometries of the die bearing. For different forms of reduction as well as bearing zones, measurements are carried out for the wire-drawing process. Subsequently, by extracting the friction coefficients from the electrolytic tough pitch copper wire in cold-drawn essays, the numerical simulations are also implemented.

  • Friction and Stress Evaluation of Copper Wire Drawing Under Different Lubrication Conditions1
    ISSN 1516-392X FRICTION AND STRESS EVALUATION OF COPPER WIRE DRAWING UNDER DIFFERENT LUBRICATION CONDITIONS1 Antonio de Pádua Lima Filho2 Igor Ribeiro Ferreira3 Felipe Biava Cataneo4 Tiago Filipe Soares da Cunha5 André Mantovani6 Abstract ASTM C10100 W annealed copper wires with an initial diameter of 4.3 mm were drawn to a final diameter of 1.3 mm using a mineral oil lubricant of 0.06 Pa.s viscosity under hydrostatic pressures of approximately 35 MPa. Ten wire drawing dies (of 3.6 mm, 3.2 mm, 2.9 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.1 mm, 1.9 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.5 mm and 1.3 mm in diameter) were used to produce a total cross-sectional reduction of approximately 225%. Wire drawing forces under oil hydrostatic pressure with a graphite lubricant were compared to wire drawing forces without any lubricant. A measuring system was used to record the wire drawing forces over time and to study the frictional behaviour of the drawn wires. A wire drawing machine with a speed of 8 mm/s was used to verify the coefficient of friction fore wires drawn at low strain rates. Lubrication regimes were analysed for oil under hydrostatic pressure. The quasi-hydrodynamic regime ranged from 2.3 mm to 3.6 mm for the wire drawing die. An analytical model for calculating the wire drawing force/stress was developed to obtain the distribution of friction coefficients at each reduction of wire diameter. By controlling friction forces, it is possible to save energy and materials, as well as to determine the die replacement frequency.

  • Metal Extrusion and Drawing Processes and Equipment
    Hail University College of Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering Metal Extrusion and Drawing Processes and Equipment Ch 15 Metal Extrusion and Drawing Extrusion and drawing involve, respectively, pushing or pulling a material through a die basically for the purpose of reducing or changing its cross-sectional area. Extrusion and drawing have numerous applications in the manufacture of continuous as well as discrete products from a wide variety of metals and alloys. In extrusion, a cylindrical billet is forced through a die in a manner similar to squeezing toothpaste from a tube or extruding Play-Doh ,in various cross sections in a toy press. Metal Extrusion Typical products made by extrusion are railings for sliding doors, window frames, tubing having various cross sections, aluminum ladder frames, and numerous structural and architectural shapes. Extrusions can be cut into desired lengths, which then become discrete parts, such as brackets, gears, and coat hangers Commonly extruded materials are aluminum, copper, steel, magnesium, and lead; other metals Depending on the ductility of the material, extrusion is carried out at room or elevated temperatures. Extrusion at room temperature often is combined with forging operations, in which case it generally is known as cold Extrusions and examples of products made by extrusion sectioning off extrusions Drawing In drawing, the cross section of solid rod, wire, or tubing is reduced or changed in shape by pulling it through a die. Drawn rods are used for shafts, spindles, and small pistons and as the raw material for fasteners (such as rivets, bolts, and screws). In addition to round rods, various profiles can be drawn.

Before we start our discussion on swaging and wire drawing. We will have a brief overview of what we have discussed till date. We have had a series of lectures on manufacturing processes. We started our discussion with powder metallurgy. We had 3 lectures on powder metallurgy, after that we started our discussion on metal working or metal forming processes. In metal forming, we have had till now two lectures. In first lecture we discussed regarding the basic fundamental of metal working, in which we discussed plastic deformation, what is plastic deformation? How does plastic deformation takes place in metals? Then we discussed the various different types of metal working processes, just a brief overview. Later on we went on to discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of hot warm and cold working processes. Then in the subsequent lecture, we started our discussion on various metal working operations. The first process that we discussed was forging. We saw that what are the various operations in forging? Like upset forging, precision forging, impression die forging, open die hammer forging, and auto forging. We saw what are the basic principles of these operations? And how where, and for what materials these operations can be applied? So, today we will discuss regarding the principle of swaging, the operation of swaging, and the operation of wire drawing.

Shear Stress Classification of Metal Working based on temperature. Hot working: It is defined as the mechanical working of metal at an elevated (higher) temperature above a particular temperature. This temperature is referred to RCT(Re Crystallization Temperature). Cold Working: It is defined as the mechanical working of metal below RCT. Warm Working: It is defined as the mechanical working of metal at a temperature between that of Hot working and Cold Working. Ingot is the starting raw metal for all metal working process. Molten metal from the furnace is taken and poured into metallic moulds and allowed to cool or solidify. The cooled solid metal mass is then taken out of the mould. This solid metal is referred to as Ingot.This Ingot is later on converted to other forms by mechanical working.

  • Metal Forming Processes
    Metal Forming Processes Dr. Sunil Jha Introduction z Practically all metals, which are not used in cast form are reduced to some standard shapes for subsequent processing. Manufacturing companies producing metals supply metals in form of ingots which are obtained by casting liquid metal into a square cross section. Slab (500-1800 mm wide and 50-300 mm thick) Billets (40 to 150 sq mm) Blooms (150 to 400 sq mm) 1 Introduction Sometimes continuous casting methods are also used to cast the liquid metal into slabs, billets or blooms. These shapes are further processed through hot rolling, forging or extrusion, to produce materials in standard form such as plates, sheets, rods, tubes and structural sections. Sequence of operations for obtaining different shapes 2 Different Shapes Primary Metal Forming Processes z Rolling z Forging z Extrusion z Tube and wire drawing z and Deep drawing z Although Punching and Blanking operations are not metal forming processes however these will be covered due to similarity with deep drawing process. 3 Rolling Change in Grain Structure in Rolling 4 Rolling – Salient features z Rolling is the most extensively used metal forming process and its share is roughly 90% z The material to be rolled is drawn by means of friction into the two revolving roll gap z The compressive forces applied by the rolls reduce the thickness of the material or changes its cross sectional area z The geometry of the product depend on the contour of the roll gap Rolling – Salient features z Roll materials are cast iron, cast steel and forged steel because of high strength and wear resistance requirements z Hot rolls are generally rough so that they can bite the work, and cold rolls are ground and polished for good finish 5 Roll passes to get a 12 mm rod from 100 x 100 mm billet Roll configurations in rolling mills z Two-high and three-high mills are generally used for initial and intermediate passes during hot rolling, while four-high and cluster mills are used for final passes.

  • Extrusion, Wire Drawing, Tube Drawing and Making
    Extrusion, Wire Drawing, Tube Drawing and Making Extrusion is a process in which the metal is subjected to plastic flow by enclosing the metal in a closed chamber in which the only opening provided is through a die. The material is usually treated so that it can undergo plastic deformation at a sufficiently rapid rate and may be squeezed out of the hole in the die. In the process the metal assumes the opening provided in the die and comes out as a long strip with the same cross-section as the die-opening. Incidentally, the metal strip produced will have a longitudinal grain flow. The process of extrusion is most commonly used for the manufacture of solid and hollow sections of nonferrous metals and alloys. e.g. aluminum, aluminum-magnesium alloys, magnesium and its alloys, copper, brass and bronze etc. However, some steel products are also made by extrusion. The stock or the material to be extruded is in the shape of cast ingots or billets. Extrusion maybe done hot or cold. The cross-sections of extruded products vary widely. Some of these sections are shown in Fig. Some advantages of extrusion process are described below: (i) The complexity and range of parts which can be produced by extrusion process is very large. Dies are relative simple and easy to make. (ii) The extrusion process is complete in one pass only. This is not so in case of rolling, amount of reduction in extrusion is very large indeed. Extrusion process can be easily automated. (iii)Large diameter, hollow products, thin walled tubes etc.
