The wire drawing method is widely used in the metal industry for its efficiency in mass production. It is especially preferred for manufacturing items like cables and ropes, as it allows for shaping the material into the desired geometric cross section using a die. In this study, the wire drawing processes for steel, copper, and aluminum were investigated to produce circular cross-section wires, using the finite element method for analysis. Experimental studies on steel wires were conducted to validate the model's accuracy. The study examined the resultant stresses, energy release, and temperature distributions in steel, copper, and aluminum wires post-wire drawing. It also explored the effects of varying wire drawing speeds, reduction ratios, and wire diameters through numerical simulations. The findings revealed that increasing the wire drawing speed from 0.05 to 0.3 m/s led to a temperature rise of 113% in steel wires, 109% in copper wires, and 109% in aluminum wires. Similarly, a reduction ratio increases from 10 to 30% caused a temperature rise of 227% in steel wires, 197% in copper wires, and 189% in aluminum wires. These insights are crucial for determining optimal process parameters in wire drawing industry applications, offering a numerical model that enhances production efficiency.
