Tandem drawing of wires and tubes is necessary because
it is not possible to reduce at one stage
annealing is needed between stages
accuracy in dimensions is not possible otherwise

Usually drawing is done cold.

Maximum reduction in cross-sectional area per pass of drawing is restricted to 45%. Beyond this reduction, tensile stress may increase and surface finish may become poor.

Due to large stress involved in drawing, the drawn wire gets strain hardened. Therefore, intermediate annealing is required before next stage of drawing.
