Forming process in which the workpiece is drawn through a tapered shape that reduces and changes the cross-sectional area. Beskrivning The process The work piece [1] in the form of a bar stock is cleaned and coated with a lubricant before processing. One end which is chamfered is inserted through the form [2] and by a pulling force, the entire rod is drawn through the mold and reduces and changes the rods cross sectional area [3]. Ordinarily a reduction of cross-sectional area of about 50% is achieved. Rod drawing Advantages and disadvantages In comparison with alternative methods Simple components required Cost-effective, fast process Limitation of the cross-sectional area reduction
