TMA TUNGSTEN CARBIDE WIRE DRAWING DIES

Wire drawing dies are essential components in the wire drawing process, a method that involves pulling wire with a larger diameter through a die featuring a smaller diameter bore. This action reduces the wire's diameter, achieving the desired size and tolerance while maintaining the same volume. Wires are sized by sequentially passing them through a series of wire drawing dies, each with a smaller bore diameter than the preceding one. The final die in the series shapes the wire to its ultimate size.

Wire drawing dies play a critical role in the entire wire drawing process. These dies are commonly employed to decrease the diameter of various ferrous and non-ferrous rods and wires. They are also ideal for short trial runs, applicable to a range of materials including low, medium, and high carbon steels, steel alloys, stainless steel, welding wire, and various non-ferrous rods and wires.

Tungsten carbide drawing dies, customized to meet your quality standards, enable you to meet quality, uptime, and speed requirements. Our tungsten carbide drawing dies feature a mirror polish and a smooth wire entry to ensure an optimal die life and easy setup, allowing wire manufacturers to maintain uniform wire roundness, thus minimizing material usage and scrap.
