Definition

Drawing is a plastic deformation process in which the cross-sectional area of a part is reduced by the contemporary action of a pulling force and a converging die.

Theory and Application

Basic Process and Classification

Figure 1 shows the basics of the drawing process. In this figure, A0 is the initial sectional area, Af the final one, F the drawing force, and α the drawing angle. Depending on the cross-sectional area shape, it is possible to distinguish wire drawing (on wires or rods) and tube drawing (on hollow profiles).
