Abstract
A drawing device for drawing a drawable material, the drawing device comprising at least a pair of tapered rollers each having a taper ratio in a range of 0.035 to 0.50, wherein the taper ratio is represented by (β−α)/2L, where β denotes a maximum diameter of the roller, α denotes a minimum diameter of the roller, and L denotes a length of a tapered portion of the roller.
Claims17
A drawing device for drawing a drawable material, the drawing device comprising
- at least a pair of tapered rollers each having a taper ratio in a range of 0.035 to 0.50,
- wherein the taper ratio is represented by (β−α)/2L,
- where β denotes a maximum diameter of the roller, α denotes a minimum diameter of the roller, and L denotes a length of a tapered portion of the roller;
- and wherein each of the tapered rollers has a ratio β/α in a range of 1.2 to 5.0 between the maximum diameter β and the minimum diameter α;
- and
- the pair of tapered rollers are arranged such that an angle θ formed between center axes of rotation shafts of the pair of rollers is in a range of 0.001°≤θ≤10°.

A drawing method for a drawable material, comprising:
- spanning a pair of rollers of a drawing device with a drawable material, the device including at least a pair of tapered rollers each having a taper ratio represented by (β−α)/2L in a range of 0.035 to 0.50, where β denotes a maximum diameter of the roller, α denotes a minimum diameter of the roller, and L denotes a length of a tapered portion of the roller;
- wherein each of the tapered rollers has a ratio β/α in a range of 1.2 to 5.0 between the maximum diameter β and the minimum diameter α;
- and the pair of tapered rollers are arranged such that an angle θ formed between center axes of rotation shafts of the pair of rollers is in a range of 0.001°≤θ≤10°;
- and
- drawing the drawable material by running the drawable material while spanning the rollers with the drawable material a plurality of times from a small-diameter side of the tapered rollers to a large-diameter side of the tapered rollers.
