Marks: +1, -0
A steel wire is drawn from an initial diameter (di) of 10mm to a final diameter (dt) of 7.5mm. The half cone angle (α) of the die is 5∘ and the coefficient of friction (µ) between the die and the wire is 0.1. The average of the initial and final yield stress [(σY)avg] is 350 MPa. The equation for drawing stress σt′ (in MPa) is given as :
σf=(σY)avg{1+1µcotα}[1−(dfdi)2µcotα]
The drawing stress (in MPa) required to carry out this operation is _________ (correct to two decimal places)
