Diamond wire drawing die blanks

PCD

Compax® PCD wire die blanks are premium high-quality diamond products used in the wire drawing process to compress the wire and shape and reduce its diameter. Due to its high degree of hardness and wear resistance, die blanks made of PCD can handle tougher environments and draw fine and ultrafine wires used on brass-plated wires, such as tire cords, saw wires, and welding wires. PCD wire die blanks produce an exceptionally smooth and precise surface finish, critical for achieving the desired mechanical properties and performance characteristics for wire cords. Along with the surface finish, it is also highly resistant to thermal damage, which is essential when drawing wire at extremely high speeds. PCD wire die blanks helps provide a longer tool lifespan by reducing the need for frequent die replacement and minimizing downtime and production costs. It is available in metal-filled and thermally stable grades with a wide range of sizes from submicron to 50 microns.
