Residual stresses formed in the wire during drawing in a monolithic die have a significant impact on the performance properties of metal products. Controlling the level and distribution of residual stresses in the metal allows you to improve the corrosion and relaxation resistance, durability, fatigue strength and ductility of finished products. As a result of the studies carried out, it was found that an increase in the drawing speed leads to a slight increase in residual stresses. When drawing wire from steel 60 with a diameter of 1.85 mm from a billet of 2.0 mm at an increase in speed from 0.1 to 30 m/s, the increase in the level of residual stresses—axial, radial and tangential—does not exceed 4%, which is not more than 40 MPa. Provided that the drawing speed directly affects the productivity of the process and its reduction is economically inefficient, then when designing the technological modes of wire drawing, taking into account the formation of residual stresses, it is necessary to vary the working angle of the die, the degree of single deformation and the type of drawing tool, taking into account the tendency of a slight increase in the level of residual stresses with an increase in the drawing speed.
