Workpiece Materials and Power Requirements
Softer materials are much easier to deform and therefore require less force to draw. The following is a table demonstrating the draw force to percent reduction of commonly used materials.
| Material | Percent reduction | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 39% | 43% | 47% | 50% | |
| Aluminium | 88 | 101 | 113 | 126 |
| Brass | 117 | 134 | 151 | 168 |
| Cold-rolled steel | 127 | 145 | 163 | 181 |
| Stainless steel | 166 | 190 | 214 | 238 |

Famous quotes containing the words materials and/or power:
“Kicking his mother until she let go of his soul
Has given his a healthy appetite: clearly, her role
In the New Order must be
To supply and deliver his raw materials free;”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“What preoccupies us, then, is not God as a fact of nature, but as a fabrication useful for a God-fearing society. God himself becomes not a power but an image.”
