Question

Which of the following metal forming processes is best suitable for making the wires?

(a) Forging

(b) Extrusion

(c) Drawing

(d) Rolling

The question was asked by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Metal Forming Processes in section Forming Process of Casting-Forming-Welding II

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) Drawing

To explain: Drawing is a metal forming process which is widely used for making the wires from round bars of metal. This process is similar to extrusion process, except that instead of pressure on the metal mass, in drawing, the wire is pulled from one side of the metallic round bar which results into the formation of thin wires. This process is only suitable for ductile materials.
