Extensive analysis of the ETP grade copper wire drawing force parameters in correlation with the length of the elastic deformation region

Abstract

Wire drawing process is generally known as the most recognized metal forming process, however, elastic deformations present during the process before entering the drawing die are mostly omitted. That is why the extensive experimental study of the process have been conducted using drawing dies of various geometry. It allowed to define the length of elastic deformation region and its influence on the recorded drawing force parameters which are closely related to drawing stresses and thus the safety factor of the process.
