Summary:The first-step drawing process of the platinum-clad nickel composite bar was numerically simulated using DEFORM 3D finite element analysis software. The Taguchi method was used to study the effect of the first-step drawing parameters (the semi-angle of die α, the friction coefficient between the platinum tube and die μ1, the friction coefficient between the platinum tube and nickel rod μ2 and the outer diameter of the original platinum tube D) on the effective stress of platinum-clad nickel bar. Then, the optimal combination of parameters (D = 7.55 mm, μ1 = 0.2, μ2 = 0.3, α = 3°) was obtained. Furthermore, the results of the deformation behavior, cladding behavior, stress effectiveness and the distribution of the damage of the composite bar using optimization schemes were compared and analyzed with Numerical Simulations 8, which showed the worst result. Meanwhile, the experimental results were in general agreement with the simulation results of optimal combination of parameters, indicating that our simulation results are plausible. This has certain guidance significance to improve the quality of platinum-clad nickel composite wires in actual production.
