Presentation on Wire Drawing

Department of Mechanical Engineering

Submitted By : Submitted To :
Name : Daksh Sharma Ravi Yadav
Roll no. : 17EJCME718 (Assistant Professor)
Class : ME 5th sem (Section : C)
OUTLINE

o Summer training at Jagdamba Engineers , Jaipur from 3 rd June, 2019 to 17th July, 2019.
o An amazing experience as I got to see , How exactly the Wire drawing process takes place
o The main objective was to learn the working of the wire drawing machine in an industry
INTRODUCTION

In drawing, the cross section of a long rod or wire is reduced or changed by pulling
(hence the term drawing) it through a die called draw
die. Thus, the difference between drawing and
extrusion is that in extrusion the material is pushed
through die, whereas in drawing it is pulled through it.
Rod and wire products cover a very wide range of
applications, including shafts for power transmission,
machine and structural components, blanks for bolts
and rivets, electrical wiring, cables,..Etc.
CHARACTERISTICS OF WIRE DRAWING

 Pulls a wire rod through a die, reducing its diameter :- Wire drawing consists of pulling a metal wire
through a small circular opening called a die. This results in a stretching or elongation of the material along
with a reduction in cross sectional area.
 Increases the length of the wire as the diameter decreases :- If a greater reduction is needed this must be
done by drawing the wire through a series of dies, each one smaller than the one before.
 Improves material properties due to cold working :- Wire drawing is usually performed cold. Die lubrication
is essential in cold working to achieve a good surface finish as well to maximize the life of die.
TYPES OF WIRE DRAWING MACHINE

SINGLE STEP MACHINE CONTINUOUS WIRE DRAWING MACHINE


WORKING PRINCIPLE OF DRAWING

o Wire drawing is done on continuous drawing machines that consists


of multiple draw dies separated by accumulating drums between the
dies.
o Each drum called a capstan, is motor driven to provide the proper
pull force to draw the wire stock through the upstream die.
o It also maintains the modest tension on the wire as it proceeds to
the next draw die in the series.
o Each die provides a certain amount of reduction in
the wire, so that desired total reduction is achieved
by the series.
o Most of the drawing dies are made of cemented carbides, generally it
is tungsten carbide.
[1]. Draw dies :-

 Four regions of the die can be distinguished : (1) Entry, (2) Approach angle, (3) Bearing surface (land), (4)
back relief .
 The entry region is usually a bell shaped mouth that does not contact the work. Its purpose is to funnel the
lubricant into the die and prevent scoring of work and die surfaces.
 The approach is where the drawing occurs. It is cone shaped with an angle (Half angle) normally ranging
from about 6° to 20°.
 The proper angle varies according to work material. The bearing surface, or land, determines the size of the
final draw stock. Finally, the back relief is the exit zone.
[2]. Die Material :-

 Die materials for drawing typically are tool steels carbides. For hot drawing, cast-steel dies are used because of their high
resistance to wear at elevated temperatures.
 High-carbon steels – Rod materials for automatic processing, wire cables
 Alloy steels – industrial springs, welding wires
 Cu and Cu alloys – Wire, Wire meshes, screws, bolts and shaped parts, parts for the electrical industry .
 Al and Al alloys – screws and bolts, shaped parts, electrical lines etc

[3]. Lubrication method :-

 Wet drawing in which the dies and the rod are immersed completely in the lubricant.
 Dry drawing in which the surface of the rod to be drawn is coated with a lubricant by passing it through a box filled with the
lubricant
 Mostly various kinds if minerals and vegetable oils, animal fats, graphite, soap and certain emulsions are applied as drawing
lubricant.
OBJECTIVES OF WIRE DRAWING

• To obtain closer dimension tolerances.


• To produce better surface finish.
• To increase the mechanical properties of the wire by the process of wire drawing.
• To produce wire in regular shapes.
• Freedom from any chemical or other properties.
• Fast process times.
• Varied speed ranges and torque requirements depending on the material.
• Process can suffer from very little downtime.
• Due to high speed, issues with the process can cause large amounts of scrap and lost revenue to overcome this problems
CONCLUSION

Wire drawing is a well known process but today is living a new interest since many manufacturers tend to substitute copper
wires with the aluminum ones. For the reason, high performance machines have been developed allowing the contemporary
working of a number of wires. It was found that the numerical simulations matched well with the experimental results for an
arbitrary introduced wire drawing. Therefore, the currently can be useful for the prediction of the evolution of the surface
defects in the wire drawing. So, here it describes the parameter, working principle and defects of drawing process.
