Spanish term or phrase: trefilacion
trefilar: operación de conformación en frío consistente en la reducción de sección de un alambre o varilla haciéndolo pasar a través de un orificio cónico practicado en una herramienta llamada hilera o dado. El trefilado propiamente dicho consiste en el estirado del alambre en frío, por pasos sucesivos a través de hileras ,dados o trefilas de carburo de tungsteno cuyo diámetro es paulatinamente menor. Esta disminución de sección da al material una cierta acritud en beneficio de sus características mecánicas.

Explanation:
Trefilación
Varios perfiles de barras y tubos se terminan en un proceso en frío que consiste en un adelgazamiento por estirado y traccionado a través de una matriz convergente, (el traccionamiento es su diferencia fundamental con respecto a la extrusión en que se empuja el material a través de la matriz).

El nombre en inglés "drawing" de este proceso hace énfasis en el estiramiento que es parte integrante del proceso. El nombre en castellano (trefilación) señala una de las aplicaciones fundamentales de este método que es la fábrica de alambres.

Trefilación también es parte de los procesos de fabricación de tubos en su adelgazamiento a su medida final.
