What is a Cold Drawing? a manufacturing process in which room temperature metal tubes or wires are pulled through dies to reduce their cross-sectional diameter. Drawing is a standard metalworking ...

Special-section steel bars are hot-rolled bars that have been cold-drawn to a designer’s or manufacturer’s specifications. Usually they are given the cross-section and size of a part they will be used ...

There is a high chance that specific shapes and mechanical properties are required when sourcing an alloy product for an industrial, medical, or consumer application. This is where cold working ...

Medical device tubing is ubiquitous. Available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, it is commonly made from such materials as thermoplastics and silicone and manufactured using extrusion ...

Stainless steels, particularly austenitic grades, are capable of being fabricated by any conventional fabrication methods. The commonly used austenitic grades can be roll formed, spun, deep drawn, hot ...

THE author of this work, being on the research staff of a manufacturer's laboratory, is in a position to put into book form much valuable information on the subject of the wire-drawing and cold ...
