The Influence of Temperature in the Wire Drawing Process on the Wear of Drawing Dies
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper presents a wear analysis of tungsten carbide drawing dies in the process of steel wire drawing. The finite element method (FEM) analysis showed a significant correlation between drawing die geometry, single reduction size and drawing speed on the rate of drawing die wear. It has been shown that in steel wire drawing at higher drawing speeds, intense heating of the drawing die occurs due to friction at the wire/drawing die interface, leading to premature wear. Tribological tests on the material for the drawing die cores (94%WC+6%Co) confirmed the gradual abrasion of the steel and carbide sample surfaces with the “products” of abrasion sticking to their surfaces. The increase in temperature increases the coefficient of friction, translating into accelerated wear of the drawing dies.
