Ziehstufe
Ziehstufe is a term that can refer to different concepts depending on the context, most commonly found in engineering and manufacturing. In a general sense, a Ziehstufe refers to a stage or step in a drawing process, particularly in metalworking. This process, known as deep drawing or simply drawing, involves deforming sheet metal into a hollow shape. Each Ziehstufe represents a specific reduction in diameter or an increase in depth of the workpiece as it moves through a series of dies. The overall drawing process is broken down into multiple Ziehstufe stages to achieve the desired final dimensions without causing the material to fracture or become excessively work-hardened.
In the context of wire drawing, a Ziehstufe also denotes a single pass through a die to
The term Ziehstufe can also be encountered in other mechanical processes where a gradual reduction or shaping
