A REVIEW: FACTOR AFFECTING WIRE QUALITY IN WIRE DRAWING PROCESS

Abstract

Wire drawing is widely used forming process in which diameter of wire is reduced by using converging die. It has several advantages like good surface finish, dimensional accuracy and better mechanical properties. Wire drawing process is complex problem because plastic deformation is non-linear in nature. It becomes highly important to increase the efficiency of the process and the quality of the desired product as the competition in the market continuously increases. In this paper wire drawing process, its mechanism, how to simulate the process with the help of FEM, process parameters and the monitoring of the process have been reviewed. This paper also reviews the new technique of lubrication like axial and radial ultrasonic vibration. This paper emphasises mainly on the new technique which improves the process and optimized the consumption of available resources.
