Analysis of Dieless Drawing to Form the End of Metal Wires under Proportional Shape Evolution with Slab Method

Abstract:

This study is to set a goal to create a model solving the temperature distribution and its evolution for the process of dieless drawing metal wire parts by using slab method and postulating that the wire end suffers a proportional deformation. The results from using a SUS304 stainless wire in 5 mm diameter dielessly drawn show that the highest temperature locates on the symmetry plane at the process beginning, so that the necking takes place there and an end will be formed securely. As a result, the method proposed by this study is feasible. In addition, for a given final shape of the metal wire end, there are many possibilities to get different temperature distribution and its evolution by setting different temperature boundary condition. The higher the boundary temperature set, the higher the temperature distribution, but the lower the drawing force needed.
