Drawing is a metalworking process where a solid rod or tube is pulled through progressively smaller dies or holes to reduce its cross-section and change its shape. The rod or tube takes on the shape of the die opening due to the pulling force applied. Drawing is commonly used to produce thicker walled seamless tubes and cylinders and is widely implemented in manufacturing wires, shafts, fasteners, and other small metal parts. Key tools in drawing include drawplates containing a series of conical holes of decreasing size and draw tongs or benches to pull the material through the dies.

Drawing is an operation in which the cross-section of solid rod, wire or tubing
is reduced or changed in shape by pulling it through a die.
The principle of this procedure consist of reducing the thickness of a pointed
,tapered wire by drawing it through a conical opening in a tool made of a hard material.The wire will take shape of the hole.

• Drawing improves strength and hardness when these properties are to be developed by cold work and not by subsequent heat treatment • Where is it used? This process is widely used for the production of thicker walled seamless tubes and cylinders therefore; shafts, spindles, and small pistons and as the raw material for fasteners such as rivets, bolts, screws. DRAWING TOOLS • The most important tool in the drawing process is without doubt the drawplate.This consist of a plate of high grade steel into which similar shaped holes have been placed whose size in evenly reduced from one hole to another. • The most common drawplate have round holes and are used to reduce the size of round wire.
