Overview of Stainless Steel Wire
Stainless steel wire drawing is a metal plastic processing process in which the wire rod or wire blank is pulled out of the die hole of the drawing die under the action of the drawing force to produce small section steel wire or non-ferrous metal wire. Wire with different section shapes and sizes of various metals and alloys can be produced by drawing. The pulled wire has accurate size, smooth surface, simple drawing equipment and mold, and easy manufacturing.

Process Characteristics of Stainless Steel Wire
The stress state of metal wire drawing is the three-dimensional principal stress state of the two-dimensional compressive stress and the uniaxial tensile stress. Compared with the principal stress state of the three-dimensional compressive stress, the drawn metal wire is easier to reach the plastic deformation state. The deformation state of drawing is the main deformation state in three directions from two compression deformation to tensile deformation. This state is unfavorable for exerting the plasticity of metal materials, and is easy to produce and expose surface defects. The amount of pass deformation during wire drawing is limited by its safety factor. If the amount of pass deformation is small, the number of drawing passes is more. Therefore, multi-pass continuous high-speed drawing is often used in wire production.
