Abstract

This paper presents the design and verification of a new direct cold drawing die used for drawing of hexagon/square section rods from round bars. Advanced computer-aided design and analysis tools are utilized to assist in the design of die profile and manufacturing parameters. The strain gage method is adopted to measure the mean drawing force and verify the die design and machining process.
