Comparative on the Effect of Wire Drawing Condition for Wire Drawing Process of Aluminum Alloy AA5052
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this research was to comparative study on the effect of the aluminum alloy grade 5052 wire drawing conditions, which consisted of die approach angle, lubricant type and wire drawing speed, that affects to the wire drawing force and the finished wire quality. The wire drawing dies are made of tungsten carbide grade K20 (ISO Code). There are 3 different size of die approach angles: 16°, 18° and 20°. The aluminium wire before drawing has a diameter of 2.0 mm., wire drawing with a cross-sectional reduction ratio of 10%, used of 3 different viscosity lubricants and 3 drawing velocity. Experiment and analyze on the drawing force, surface roughness and tensile strength of the finished wire. The experiment results showed that wire drawing by a die with an approach angle of 16° at a drawing velocity of 0.1 m/s and using lubricant DN Press Draw40 grade gave the best wire surface finish. The drawing by a large die approach angle and uses a low velocity speed Will use the higher drawing force and provide a stronger wire. Which is caused by the effect of redundance deformation. As for wire drawing through a small die approach angle size and a high drawing velocity, use the lower drawing force, the finished wire has less strength. As for the effects of lubricants, it is found that the wire drawing by the lubricants with low viscosity will use a higher drawing force. Finish wire, which has lower a surface roughness and tensile strength.
