What is Draw Reduction?

Draw Reduction (DR) measures the percentage reduction in dimension after a drawing process. It is calculated by dividing the difference between the initial and final dimensions by the initial dimension, then multiplying by 100. This metric is important in manufacturing and engineering to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the drawing process.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Calculate the Draw Reduction using the formula:

\[ DR = \frac{10 - 8}{10} \times 100 = \frac{2}{10} \times 100 = 20\% \]

The Draw Reduction (DR) is 20%.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Calculate the Draw Reduction using the formula:

\[ DR = \frac{15 - 12}{15} \times 100 = \frac{3}{15} \times 100 = 20\% \]

The Draw Reduction (DR) is 20%.
