Wire drawing is a metal forming process used to reduce the cross-section and increase the length of a workpiece. This process is associated with tensile force, which differs from other metal-forming processes like extrusion and forging.
In this process, a large cross-section workpiece is forced to pass through a die with a smaller opening compared to the workpiece’s cross-sectional area. This will plastically deform the workpiece by reducing its cross-sectional area and increasing its length. This process is used to manufacture wire, bars, and tubes.
