Seamless tubes are used for many applications, e.g. in heating, transport gases and fluids, evaporators as well as medical use and as intermediate products for hydroforming and various mechanical applications, where the final dimensions normally are given by some cold drawing steps. The first process step – piercing of the billet, for example by extrusion or 3-roll-milling - typically results in ovality and eccentricity in the tube causing non-symmetric material flow during the cold drawing process, i.e. inhomogeneous deformation. Because of this non-axisymmetric deformation and of deviations over tube length caused by moving tools, this process step generates residual stresses. To understand the interconnections between the geometrical changes in the tubes and the residual stresses, the residual strains in a copper tube had been measured by neutron diffraction.

High-strength cable-steel bridge is the “lifeline” of steel structure bridges, which requires high comprehensive mechanical properties, and cold-drawing is the most important process to produce high-strength cable-steel bridge. Therefore, through the ABAQUS platform, a bridge wire drawing model was established, and the simulation analysis on the process of stress strain law and strain path trends for high-strength bridge steel wire from Φ 12.65 mm by seven cold-drawing to Φ 6.90 mm was conducted. The simulation results show that the wire drawing the heart of the main axial deformation, surface and sub-surface of the main axial and radial deformation occurred, with the increase in the number of drawing the road, the overall deformation of the wire was also more obvious non-uniformity. In the single-pass drawing process, the change in the potential relationship of each layer of material was small, and multiple inflection points appeared in the strain path diagram; the change in the seven-pass potential relationship was more drastic, which can basically be regarded as a simple superposition of multiple single-pass pulls.

Most of the applications of NiTi SMA are as a wire form. In this sense it is important to know the effects of thermo-mechanical processing such as reduction per pass and intermediate annealing on the wire drawing process. For this work they were produced wire by cold drawing using 15 % area reduction per pass with and without intermediate annealing. The starting ingot was produced by VIM process. The influence of thermo-mechanical processing will be related to the martensitic transformation temperatures.

Background: The telescopic fork is mainly used for suspension purposes in the different devices to absorb the vibration and disturbances from the road or mechanical devices. Factors such as die angle, drawing velocity, lubrication, and area reduction per pass significantly affect the drawing loads and residual stresses formed in the drawn tube during the tube marking process. Objective: Instantaneous transverse crack was found on the pipe's outer surface during the drawing process in the current work, and the key challenges were to reduce the percentage of pipe rejection. Methodology: In this work, optimum drawing die designs were proposed by using the finite element method (FEM). A FEM solving tool called Abaqus has been used for simulating and solving the cold-rolled process. The FEM model of the cold drawing process is generated in Abaqus with the same boundary condition (Axial load and constrain) as using on the actual wire drawing machine. Result: There was a substantial reduction in the area; axial stress (Tensile) along the die side is 672 MPa which is 23 % lower than the current die axial stress value of 877 MPa. A 48 % plastic strain was found along the purposed die side, which was 17 % lower than the existing strain of 64%. Finally, reduced the area by changing the die geometry from ~52% to 35 to 40 %. Conclusion: It was possible to abolish transverse crack on the pipe's outer surface to reduce the area reduction (35 to 40 %) in the output tube and strain (17 %). As part of the optimization of the FEM work process, this work gives us encouraging results. Further research will be considered for future positions.

Drawing speed is one important process in production over-head line, deform 3d software is used to simulate the drawing process. The distribution of stress-strain and temperature in different drawing speed with die angle and friction coefficient was investigated. The results shows that the aluminum conductors can be used in high speed drawing when die angle, drawing speed and frication coefficient of first pass is about11~13 degrees, 4~6m/s and 0.08~0.10 respectively, the uniformity of stress-strain and temperature is better for producing good quality over-head wires with high cold-drawing speed.

Drawing processes apply to obtain the bimetallic tubes from the different metals and alloys, combined in the solid state, which significantly affects the specificity of this process. The manufacturing of bimetallic tubes by drawing process depends on many factors which include: preparation of the surface of materials joined in the solid state, the geometric parameters of the working tool, technological parameters of the drawing process (drawing speed, type of lubricant, the use of back pull etc.). Generally, the cold drawing process of producing the bimetallic tubes refers to metals which have high ductility (copper, aluminum, etc.). The tube sinking (tube drawing without a mandrel) of bimetallic tubes together with joining them at the interface of the two metal in the solid-state is applied for tubes of the diameter range between 6 to 20 mm and based on of the reducing the diameter of the tube. However, a slight increase of wall thickness ca. 0.05 ÷ 0.10 mm can appear, which is not dangerous phenomenon in case of producing the bimetallic tubes by joining in the solid-state. The aim of the research was to investigate the technology of tubes drawing process from non-ferrous metal, drawing process of bimetallic tubes and the production of bimetallic tubes in layers composition: cooper Cu-ETP - brass CuZn37 and CuZn37 brass - copper Cu-ETP in the tube sinking process. The research program included: production of bimetallic tubes with a different composition (Cu- ETP-CuZn37 and CuZn37-Cu-ETP) and a different percentage of the cross-section components; analysis of changes of tube wall thickness and the layer composition of the bimetallic tube, based on measurements on the workshop microscope; analysis of the material flow in the process of the bimetallic tubes production based on the measurements results of a profilograph CP-200.
