Wiredrawing breaks – A review of mechanical perspectives

$15.00

With modern increases in drawing productivity, as well as continued interest in ultra-fine wiredrawing, drawing breaks continue to be a focus of analysis. Much attention has been paid to break classification; the origin, monitoring and control of flaws; and optimized die design and lubrication. It is important to view such concerns in the broader context of ductile fracture mechanics. This paper reviews and consolidates pertinent practical models and recent work in this area.
