Abstract

Abstract In this work the analysis of the wire drawing process in hydrodynamic dies has been done. The drawing process of φ5.5 mm wire rod to the final wire of φ1.7 mm was conducted in 12 passes, in drawing speed range of 5-25 m/s. For final wires of φ1.7 mm the investigation of topography of wire surface, the amount of lubricant on the wire surface and the pressure of lubricant in hydrodynamic dies were determined. Additionally, in the work selected mechanical properties of the wires have been estimated. It has been shown that in the drawing process under hydrodynamic lubrication by drawing speed of 25 m/s the phenomena of uncontrolled formation of the surface and the diameter of the wire appears, and in the process the compressive stresses eliminating cracks on the wire surface occur, causing further smoothing. The wires drawn hydrodynamically in speed of 25 m/s, besides clearly worse properties compared to the wires drawn hydrodynamically at speeds in the range of 5 to 20 m/s, also exhibit large dimensional variations.
