Continuous wire drawing apparatus and method

A continuous wire drawing apparatus, comprising:

• a wire releasing scrollbar and a wire collecting scrollbar, being respectively a wire releasing end and a wire collecting end of a metal wire material;
• a wire drawing force control unit and a back force control unit, providing a drawing force to the wire collecting end and providing a back force to the wire releasing end respectively, so that the metal wire material moves towards the wire collecting scrollbar;
• a heating unit, disposed between the wire releasing end and the wire collecting end, and adapted to heat the metal wire material continuously at a heating temperature in a heating area, wherein a range of the heating temperature is 50° C. to 300° C. above a recrystallization temperature of the metal wire material, whereby the metal wire material is deformed by and with a strength difference between the drawing force and the back force;
• and
• a cooling unit, disposed between the heating unit and the wire collecting end, and adapted to cool the metal wire material continuously at a cooling temperature in a cooling area.
