  1. Selection of raw material: High-quality raw material, usually in the form of tubes or bars, is selected for the cold drawing process. The raw material should have appropriate chemical composition and mechanical properties to meet the desired specifications of the finished pipes.

  2. Cleaning and lubrication: The raw material is thoroughly cleaned to remove any impurities or contaminants that may affect the quality of the final product. Lubrication is applied to the surface of the raw material to reduce friction during the drawing process and prevent damage to the material.

  3. Preparation for drawing: The cleaned and lubricated raw material is then cut to the desired length and chamfered at the ends to facilitate the drawing process. The chamfered ends also help in preventing cracks or fractures during drawing.

  4. Drawing process: The prepared raw material is inserted into a drawing die, which is a tool with a tapered hole. The material is then pulled through the die using a drawing machine or similar equipment. As the material is drawn through the die, it undergoes plastic deformation, resulting in a reduction in diameter and an increase in length. This process is repeated through a series of dies with progressively smaller holes until the desired size and shape of the pipe are achieved.

  5. Heat treatment (optional): Depending on the material and intended application of the pipes, a heat treatment process may be applied after cold drawing to enhance the mechanical properties of the pipes. Heat treatment processes such as annealing or normalizing can be used to improve the strength, hardness, and ductility of the pipes.

  6. Final processing: After the cold drawing and any optional heat treatment, the pipes may undergo additional processing steps such as cutting, sizing, straightening, and inspection to ensure they meet the required specifications and quality standards.

  7. Surface treatment and finishing: The cold-drawn pipes may undergo surface treatment such as polishing, coating, or plating to improve their surface quality, appearance, and corrosion resistance. Finally, the pipes may be marked, packaged, and prepared for shipping or further processing.
