eng.wire-drawing-force Calculator
Calculates wire drawing force, power, and die stress from wire diameter reduction, material flow stress, and die half-angle. Optimal die angle (approximately 6–12°) minimises the combined friction and redundant work — both shallower and steeper dies require more drawing force.
Inputs
D0 Mm
Distance across a circle through its centre. Always confirm units match the rest of the calculation.
D1 Mm
Distance across a circle through its centre. Always confirm units match the rest of the calculation.
Sigma Y Mpa
Internal force per unit area (Pa or MPa). Must stay below yield strength in service.
Mu Friction
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Alpha Deg
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
drawing stress σ_d (MPa)
Internal force per unit area (Pa or MPa). Must stay below yield strength in service. Beyond yield: permanent deformation. Beyond tensile strength: fracture.
drawing force F (kN)
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
area reduction r
The computed two-dimensional surface area.
B = μ/tan(α)
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
σ_d = σ_Y(1+B)/B·[1-(1-r)^B]
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
max reduction per pass (no back-tension)
The tensile force or stress — the pulling force that stretches the material. Must stay below the material's tensile strength.
