Polycrystalline Diamond Dies

Wire drawing dies are tools with highly-polished, specially-shaped holes through which wire is drawn to reduce its diameter. They have a metal case and a nib made of carbide, polycrystalline diamond (PCD), or natural diamond. When selecting wire drawing dies, wire material and drawing parameters are important specifications to consider. Examples include standard wire drawing dies, PCD wire drawing dies, Carbide wire drawing dies, and enameling wire drawing dies. Standard wire drawing dies have a well-defined reduction angle that reduces drawing force and provides uniform die-formation with a consistent surface finish. PCD wire drawing dies use polycrystalline diamond (PCD), a synthetic material which provides superior resistance to cracking and wear. Carbide wire drawing dies are made from tungsten carbide, an extremely hard and scratch-resistant material that is often used in tool bits.
