Wire drawing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wire drawing is a manufacturing process used to reduce or change the cross section of a wire by using a series of draw plates or dies.
Rod or wire stock is drawn through one or more tapered wire drawing dies. For steel wire drawing, a tungsten carbide inner "nib" is inserted inside a steel casting. The hard carbide provides a wear resistant surface for the reduction of the steel wire.
