Guidelines for Selecting Plugs Used in Thin-Walled Tube Drawing Processes of Metallic Alloys

Guidelines for Selecting Plugs Used in Thin-Walled Tube Drawing Processes of Metallic Alloys

In this paper, some practical guidelines to select the plug or set of plugs more adequate to carry out drawing processes of thin-walled tubes carried out with fixed conical inner plug are presented. For this purpose, the most relevant input parameters have been considered in this study: the tube mat...
