  • the percentage of area reduction is set to a relatively large fixed value, and thus the wire drawing process can be performed with efficiency in the stage where the wire 10 has a relatively large diameter, resulting in a reduction of the number of the whole dies 60 .

That is, setting is made such that the degree of diameter reducing deformation by one die 60 becomes smaller as the diameter of the wire 10 becomes smaller. This prevents cutting of the wire 10 more reliably.
