Abstract: It has been shown on theoretical as well as experimental grounds that it is possible to draw solid wires of gold or silver to diameters of the order of 0.3 mm (0.012 in.) or smaller by ...

Abstract: The mechanics of micro-thin foil or leaf production by hammering has been analyzed. It was found that the metal foil cannot be reduced by a compression process alone because of the large ...

Abstract: The history of wire drawing through dies is reviewed and the description of the process by Theophilus, dating from about 1100 A.D., is discussed. It can be assumed that the fact that this ...

Abstract: Oxygen-free copper, 6061 aluminum, and 1100 aluminum bars were drawn from various initial diameters in the annealed state to bars of 11.8 mm (0.464 in.) at maximum reductions in area up to ...

Abstract: The tensile properties of annealed OFHC copper and SAE 1018 steel drawn to various prestrains up to ln A0 /A ≅ 1.5 were evaluated. It was found that the resulting Bridgman corrected curves ...
