What are the different types of wire drawing dies?

Wire drawing dies refer to tools that in metal pressure processing force the metal to pass through the metal mold under the action of external force, so that the cross-sectional area of the metal is compressed to obtain the desired shape and size. There are several different types of wire drawing dies depending on the application and material. Here are some common types of wire drawing dies:

 

What are the different types of wire drawing dies

 

1. Single crystal diamond drawing die: This type of mold uses single crystal diamond as the working part of the mold. Since single crystal diamonds have excellent hardness and wear resistance, they perform well during the drawing process of high-strength metal wires. These molds are usually used for drawing metal materials such as steel wire and copper wire.

 

2. Polycrystalline diamond drawing die: Polycrystalline diamond die is synthesized from small particles of diamond, so it is more economical and affordable than single crystal diamond. They are suitable for drawing general metal wires.

 

3. Carbide drawing die: Carbide die is made of carbide material and has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance. These molds are widely used for drawing steel wire, copper wire, aluminum wire and other metals.

 

4. Natural diamond drawing dies: Natural diamond drawing dies are used for drawing high-temperature, high-strength alloy wires due to their excellent wear resistance and heat conduction properties.

 

5. Ceramic drawing dies: Ceramic drawing dies are typically used for softer metal wires such as aluminum and copper. Their smooth surface ensures smooth wire pulling.

 

6. Tungsten steel drawing die: Tungsten steel die is made of tungsten alloy and has good hardness and wear resistance. These dies are commonly used for drawing stainless steel wire.

 

7. Metal Coated Drawing Dies: These dies are coated with a coating on the metal surface to improve the wear and corrosion resistance of the die. Metal coatings can be hard chromium, molybdenum, etc.

 

8. Ceramic coated drawing die: Similar to metal coated molds, ceramic coated molds are covered with a layer of ceramic coating on the surface to increase the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the mold.

 

9. Diamond Coated Drawing Dies: The surfaces of these dies are coated with artificial diamond coating to provide excellent wear resistance and heat transfer properties.

 

Selecting the appropriate drawing die depends on the characteristics of the metal material, the desired wire diameter variation, and production requirements. Different types of drawing dies can meet the processing needs of different materials and applications, ensuring the production of high-quality metal wire products.
