Abstract
Part 3 is a continuation of the studies in cold-drawing. Average coefficients of drawing friction were determined for forward and reversed drawing of 2S-O aluminum and SAE 1020 steel by Sachs’ theory and compared with measurements using SR-4 wire strain gages on the outer die surface to determine die pressures. Die profiles were determined by plastic castings. A series of dies were used to provide true reductions of rod area up to 0.76 at drawing speeds of 2 ipm.
