Definitions

  • the vibrating energy is impressed by a load switch which acts with tensile force to the plug mandrel or with compressive force to the die.
  • a vibrating sys tem for tube-drawing is driven with a predetermined vibrating wave amplitude.
  • the phenomena of seizure is produced by locally elevated temperature on the tube with the increase of friction heat, because the drawing speed is near zero in the starting stage of tube-drawing while the vibrating energy is full.
  • the drawing speed is re quired to be reduced, the operator of the drawing machine is obliged to change the value of the vibrating amplitude. It is well-known that this operation is not always smooth and results in increasing friction heat. The increased friction heat brings about a break of oil film and causes the seizure.
