Abstract
In this research, the drawing force was evaluated in the cold drawing process of 410 stainless steel tubes. By FEM simulation, upper limit solving methods, slab analysis, and the experimental process of drawing force and optimal angle of the die was obtained. The practical drawing was done with an industrial drawing device using a fixed plug method. Abaqus software was used to simulate the process. Determining the required drawing force and predicting it was calculated using the methods of horizontal analysis and the upper limit of its range. According to the results, the lowest value of the coefficient of friction was 0.15 and the lowest drawing force was obtained at the die angle of 32 degrees. In addition, by simulating the process in Abaqus, the force was calculated and the validation of the results was done to predict the required force. After conducting the practical tests, the difference between the experimental and simulation predicted force was determined to be less than 7%.
