Components made from wire can be found all around us, cables, screws, nails and many other things that are vital for our modern society are made from cold drawn wire. The wire is produced by pulling hot rolled wire through a single or a series of tools called drawing dies. In this process the cross section of the wire is reduced and the mechanical properties of the material is enhanced. Even though it is classified as a cold working process, there are rather high temperatures in the dies during the process due to extreme tribological conditions resulting in high frictional forces between the wire and the die. Previous studies have shown that the temperature of the drawing tool has an impact on the performance of the process and on the wear rate of the tool. Hence, cooling of the drawing dies is of high importance for the wire drawing process. In this paper, case studies where different approaches have been utilized to improve the cooling capacity of the drawing die in industrial wire drawing processes are presented.
