Abstract

The objective of the present work is to predict the formation of chevron crack in copper wire drawing process. The first part of this paper is to determine the chevron crack formation initiated by a central burst inside the wire material using experimental tests. These results are compared with results from a series of numerical simulations using the Cockcroft–Latham fracture criterion. The second part of this work concerns the determination of a curve that divides the chevron and safe zones for a better wire drawing process. The conditions of central burst defects formation along the wire axis depend on drawing parameters and friction coefficient between the die and the wire. The friction coefficient is defined as a linear function of temperature rise which is measured close to the wire-die interface. The obtained results show that the friction coefficient depending on temperature rise during wire drawing has an impact on the damage of copper wire.
