You will choose the raw material for your die-tools based on the type and size of the wire being drawn. Choosing the right raw material will depend on the wire drawer's tonnage per den. A wire drawer needs to decide whether to use tungsten carbide or polycrystalline diamond as his raw material. Generally, a harder die material is needed to draw smaller wires.

The tungsten carbide mineral

To draw ferrous wire materials, the most widely used material is tungsten carbide. For drawing large diameter wires, it is three times stronger than steel. As a result of the greater blank dimensions, Tungsten Carbide Dies have seen a significant rise in use since the 1970s. They are also suitable for drawing smaller quantities and changing diameters more frequently.

Die made from polycrystalline diamonds

Today, cable plants and wire drawing machines use PCD tools to draw everything, from rod breakdowns to fine diamond dies. You can learn more about Nano Diamond Coated Die for drawing nonferrous metals and stainless steel under thermally stable conditions.

Savings that are real

An important asset of any wire-drawing company is its wire-drawing instrument. In order to grow or collapse a wire-drawing company, it is crucial to choose the right raw materials for superior die tools. This tiny, extremely precise tool has a small hole in the center. Your business will be made or broken by these key factors.

Wear resistance is excellent in the chosen die-material.

Strong and long-lasting, the dies are durable.

If you want to refurbish or reshape the item, you can do so as well.

You should consider the following factors when deciding between tungsten carbide and polycrystalline diamond (PCD). Cold forming and cold heading are high volume applications for tungsten carbide. It has short downtime, is less prone to wear, and requires less maintenance. Read more about it

Although Tungsten Carbide can present more challenges, PCD is a more consistent and reliable method of drawing wire than Tungsten Carbide. PCD dies have greater wear resistance, crack resistance, and bearing resistance.

Our Thane tungsten carbide or polycrystalline diamond (PCD) can be made according to your specifications. SZwiredie Industries is here to help you with any questions you might have.

This type of die can be used for fine and very fine wire drawings as well as finishing dies that require high wire quality. It is possible to produce precision wire with high surface finishes and excellent wire drawing performance using ND dies. They consume less power and are low in friction.
