I need to calculate how many wire drawing passes I need to bring a 14mm diameter 316L stainless steel bar to a 2.5mm diameter wire. Although there is a lot of information in the literature on how to calculate it, I would like to obtain real values based on experience and not theoretical information.
Any help is welcome. Thanks a lot
