Drawing

Steel

This a process whereby the shape and/or dimensions of rolled steel sheet or long product, such as bar, wire or tube, are altered. In the case of steel sheet, drawing takes place in a press to change the sheet from a flat to a shaped profile. Drawing is generally, but not exclusively, a cold working technique as it is usually conducted at room temperature.
