Ultra-fine high-carbon steel wires are widely used in the field of diamond wire saws. The traditional method for drawing ultra-fine high-carbon steel brings many drawbacks. This paper designed an ultrasonic transducer whose frequency is 28 kHz to overcome the above drawing problem of ultra-fine steel wire with a diameter 65 μm. Influences of the ultrasonic vibration on the drawing force and the diameter of wire cycle were investigated by experimental methods. The experimental results showed that the drawing force was reduced by up to 16.6% and the diameter of wire cycle was enlarged by up to 9.7%. Besides, the continuous drawing time of the ultra-fine wire was effectively prolonged. This study can contribute to enhancing the productivity of the ultra-fine wire processing in practical production.
