Wire drawing techniques can be categorized based on the methods and equipment used. The main types include:

• Single-Wire Drawing: This involves drawing a single wire through a die to reduce its diameter. It’s the simplest form of wire drawing.
• Multi-Wire Drawing: Multiple wires are drawn simultaneously through a series of dies, increasing efficiency and throughput.
• Wet Drawing: Lubricants are used to reduce friction and heat, enhancing the quality and lifespan of both the wire and the dies.
• Dry Drawing: A dry lubricant is applied, suitable for materials sensitive to liquid lubricants.
• Cold Drawing: The wire is drawn at room temperature, commonly used for metals like copper and steel to increase tensile strength.
• Hot Drawing: The wire is heated before drawing, used for metals that have high ductility at elevated temperatures, such as aluminum and certain steels.
