  2. Wire drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_drawing

    Wire drawing is a metalworking process used to reduce the cross-section of a wire by pulling the wire through one or more dies. There are many applications for wire drawing, including electrical wiring, cables, tension-loaded structural components, springs, paper clips, spokes for wheels, and stringed musical instruments.

  3. Drawing (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawing_(manufacturing)

    Drawing is a manufacturing process that uses tensile forces to elongate metal, glass, or plastic. As the material is drawn (pulled), it stretches and becomes thinner, achieving a desired shape and thickness. Drawing is classified into two types: sheet metal drawing and wire, bar, and tube drawing.

  4. Wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire

    A wire is a flexible, round, bar of metal. Wires are commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate. ... Wire drawing concept Coaxial ...

  5. Extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrusion

    Drawing is a similar process, using the tensile strength of the material to pull it through the die. It limits the amount of change that can be performed in one step, so it is limited to simpler shapes, and multiple stages are usually needed. Drawing is the main way to produce wire. Metal bars and tubes are also often drawn.

    Basic drawing process for a wire, bar or tube. "About a year before the war Mr. Carlson invented a process of cold-drawing , without subsequent machining, the French type of booster casing from “dead soft, deep drawing” sheet steel.

  7. Draw plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draw_plate

    This must be done because drawing wire hardens it, which causes the wire to become brittle. Brittle wire that has not been annealed may snap during the drawing process (or develop microscopic or macroscopic cracks, which may weaken the piece or "grow" with further working). With a mandrel, a draw plate can be used to draw tubes of metal. Plates ...

    A list, usually tabular and often on the drawing (if not accompanying the drawing on a separate sheet), listing the parts needed in an assembly, including subparts, standard parts, and hardware. There is no consistently enforced distinction between an L/M, a BoM, or a P/L. PLM: product lifecycle management; plant lifecycle management: See also ...

  9. Barbed wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbed_wire

    Barbed wire, also known as barb wire, is a type of steel fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strands. Its primary use is the construction of inexpensive fences , and it is also used as a security measure atop walls surrounding property.
