The invention discloses a copper wire drawing process. The process comprises alkaline electrolysis, cleaning, oxygen content measuring, wire drawing, annealing, winding and inspection. A copper rod issubjected to electrolysis in an alkaline solution containing sodium hydroxide and sodium tartrate, and a copper oxidation film is removed; after reaching the schedule time, cleaning is carried out, after drying, a pulse melting infrared absorption method is used for measuring the oxygen content of a copper rod with an oxidation film removed, when the oxygen content is lower than 6000 PPM, the copper rod can be used, a large wire drawing machine, a medium wire drawing machine and a micro wire drawing machine are adopted in wire drawing, the large wire drawing machine and the medium wire drawing machine carry out wire drawing, then, annealing treatment is carried out, and after micro wire drawing, the winding machine is adopted for winding, conductive, aging stability, and thermal stabilitytests are carried out. The oxide layer is removed, alkaline electrolysis is adopted, pollution and poisonousness of chemical removal strong acid and strong base can be avoided, the pulse melting infrared absorption method is adopted for detecting the oxygen content, after wire drawing, copper thorn or fragments can be avoided, the wire yield is improved, the cost is reduced, the annealing qualityis high, and electric energy is saved.
