The Book of Terms

Underdraft

1) In wiredrawing, too little reduction in a particular die will result in “skin brittleness” of the drawn wire due to lack of working the entire cross-section. 2) The tendency of metal to curve downward when leaving rolls because of the slower surface speed of the lower roll.
