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:
“In daily life what distinguishes the master is the using those materials he has, instead of looking about for what are more renowned, or what others have used well.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“...men give us most rarely that which we really want, not favor, but—Justice. Nothing is easier than to coax them to pet us like children, nothing more difficult than to persuade them to treat us like responsible human beings.”
—Frances Power Cobbe (1822–1904)
