How to reduce wire diameter by the wire drawing machine?

The common sizes of wire rods are 6.5mm and 5.5mm in China, Turkey, Africa, etc. It is the common raw steel material used to make various nails. Wire drawing machines are usually used to reduce the wire diameter by passing the wire rod through a series of gradually smaller drawing dies.

The diameter of the wire after drawing varies according to the nail size to make. Usually, 1.5mm to 2.0mm is used to make small nails below 1 inch, 2.2mm to 4.5mm is suitable for medium-sized nails 2-4 inches, and 4mm and above is used for larger nails 5-6 inches.

The desired diameters that wire rods with different initial diameters can reach through step-by-step drawing. Specifically as follows:

• 5.5mm wire rod: can be drawn step by step to 4.7mm, 4.1mm, 3.7mm, 3.4mm, 3.1mm, 2.8mm, 2.5mm, 2.2mm, and 2.0mm.
• 6.0mm wire rod: can be drawn step by step to 5.5mm, 5.0mm, 4.5mm, 4.1mm, 3.7mm, 3.4mm, 3.1mm, and 2.8mm.
• 6.5mm wire rod: can be drawn step by step to 5.8mm, 5.0mm, 4.5mm, 4.1mm, 3.7mm, 3.1mm, 2.8mm, 2.5mm, 2.2mm, and 2.0mm.

For example, if drawing the wire rod with a diameter of 5.5mm to 3.4mm (5.5mm→4.7mm→4.1mm→3.7mm→3.4mm), you need to use a 4-drum wire drawing machine. The wire drawing process requires a total of 4 wire drawing dies, with hole diameters of 4.7mm, 4.1mm, 3.7mm, and 3.4mm, respectively. After these four processes, you can get cold drawn wires with a diameter of 3.4mm. We can produce cold drawn wire in any diameter you need.
