Drawing process where the workpiece is fed into and drawn through a die with a beveled inner side so that a thinner thread is created. Beskrivning The process The work piece [1] in this case is a thin rod or coil must first be cleaned and coated with a lubricant and the front end must be beveled to make it easier to pull through the mold [2]. The workpiece may be preheated. There are basically two ways to apply the lubricant on, either by immersing the entire thread of a lubricant or by allowing the wire to pass through a bath of lubricant. However, there are also other methods. The workpiece is fed into the mold which has an angled inner side so the workpiece is more easily pulled through. The workpiece is drawn through the mold so that its sectional area decreases, usually between 15-45% so that a wire [3] is created.
