Diamond wire drawing die blanks Versirion & Versimax

polycrystalline diamond

Versirion and Versimax is a revolutionary diamond composite material created from a state-of-the-art high-pressure and temperature process designed for drawing and compacting applications of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The diamond composite material offers exceptional wear resistance, superior mechanical strength, and phenomenal thermal stability for various ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Versirion and Versimax diamond composite materials exhibit superior corrosion and wear resistance within high-temperature operations. Its high strength attributes are similar to cobalt-sintered PCD but have superior thermal stability. Both composite materials are used as die blank grades within wire drawing. The die blank grades are thermally stable up to 1400° C, creating less risk of failures during the wire drawing process. Hyperion Materials & Technologies provides Versirion and Versimax in self-supported wire die blanks without carbide support rings. Both grades are available in custom sizes and shapes and are prepared to be customized to meet customer specifications. Hyperion provides simpler shapes, such as cylinders, rectangular, or triangular prisms, and complicated geometries, such as conical shapes, hollow cylinders, negative features, and more. Versimax can also be attached to tungsten carbide or steel by furnace brazing, and tools can be produced by press fitting, heat shrink fitting, adhesive bonding, or mechanical fixturing.
