The initiation and propagation rule of central flaw during wire drawing was modeled with the finite element method and theory of fracture mechanics. It is shown that: J-integral value increased with the increasing of the angle of drawing die, the friction coefficient between drawing die and wire and the initial dimension of the flaw. When friction coefficient equaled 0.1, J-integral value round the crack tip with the same flaw decreased with the decreasing of the angle of the die. J-integral value changed slightly and tended to be a constant value when the angle reached to 8°. The calculated results were then applied to improve the optimization of the technology for wire drawing.
