Copper drawing agents–some new ideas

$15.00

Copper wiredrawing is one of the most severe metalworking processes. In only one machine an elongation of the wire by a factor of 75 is achieved. There are modern machines in development which allow elongation factors up to 200. As work hardening increases during the drawing process higher drawing power is required. Only with excellent lubricants sufficient drawing results are possible.
