A material with a true stress strain curve? = 350 E0.25 MPa is used in wire drawing.
a) Calculate the maximum reduction in cross sectional area per pass based on ideal conditions.
b) Using excel, plot the drawing stress as a function of strain and the stress strain curve and find the strain at which both curves intersect.
c) Assuming that friction and redundant work compose a total of 60% of the ideal work of deformation. Calculate the maximum reduction in cross sectional area per pass.
